how to replace holdin pin on Siemitsu LS-32

[drokkeh]

Hi all.

I replaced the actuator with an oversized one in my LS-32 but im struggling to get the holding pin back on.

Any idea the best tool to use?



Saw the the video above.  Look at 4:42 - what is that tool he is using?  anyone know?

Thanks

There are several different names associated with that type of tool.

Snap ring pliers:

Not sure which is right for this application.

Just to confirm Circlip pliers did the job
