Retaining ring hole size for UFP actuator.

[iangler]

I need to replace a shock absorber on my UFP A-60 actuator, and been thinking about what tools I'll need.

I know I'll need a retaining/snap ring plier to get the actuator off, and since I don't have any I thought I'd ask if anyone knows the size plier I will need.

The rear retaining ring on my trailer is kind of hard to get to, so I can't use those pliers that have replaceable tips. I will need a long nose one, so want to make sure I get the right size the first time. Thanks.

I went to Harbor Frieght bought a retaining ring pliers set for about $7.00and I replaced my A60 unit last night. An auto parts store should have then. It's the size of a small needle nose pliers. It works fine on the large retaining clips
