maybe a piston ring expander tool would work? or maybe I don't understand the idea. bill

So get her a pair of safety glasses too!

No kidding. I used a snap-ring to get a small c-clamp off part of my mini-mill a couple weeks ago. The damn thing shot off like a bullet ricocheting all over the basement. I was of course, wearing my eye-glasses. I always wear them any time I am working with anything under any kind of force/stress. I've learned lessons from observing my own father's eye injuries in the shop.

How about a piston ring installer for small engines ??
