Is there any way you might splice a finishing nail, or section thereof,
maybe, to each jaw of your snap ring pliers (or other right angle pliers) to
increase the reach? Do you have any wire (steel or copper) for binding a
splice?

Subject: Re: [MBZ] Diagnosis Confirmation, Please, now HELP?
Here is where we're at:
I have the pulley off and can see the snap ring that holds the clutch coil
on. However, I don't have enough room to get a snap ring pliers into the
center of the coil to get at the snap ring. I have a right angle set of
snap ring pliers, but they're not long enough to reach.
I see a set at HF that has removable "bits" but it doesn't look like they
are that long. I may go that route and see if I can fabricate a set of
"bits" that will reach into the recess.
It's a damned tight spot to work in, and there's very little room to
maneuver tools around, not to mention I'm having to work with a light and
mirror at the same time.
If it wouldn't be such a PITA, I would pull the radiator so I could get a
straight shot at it.
Suggestions, PLEASE!!
Thanks,
Dan

And your diagnosis pretty much confirms that. It could be
as simple as a broken joint at the connector, but you probably
don't want to rely on that.
