The bearing came out smoothly using the hook pullers, but on this one, it’s not necessary to use the hooks with the universal puller tool. You can just thread 3 x 5/16th rods into the bearing housing orifices and that would be easier. The plate behind the housing is what has the fine, 1/4 threads which won’t come out unless the two circlips (both aft of it) are removed
Can somebody recommend a good set of circlip pliers to remove these two circlips in the gearcase housing. Nothing I have is really good enough for this job and I’m stuck. They are fairly beefy circlips, and given they are recessed so far into the gearcase housing, it’s tough to get any sort of grip on the handles to actually remove the circlips.
