Can you stop posting bollocks on my thread , those pliers tend to be shyte, they are for circlips with holed ends and nothing to do with E clips that get pinged off SLOWLY with a small screwdriver in one of the two reliefs.

E clips last years just don't muller them getting them out with too big a screwdriver.

On the subject of circlips (not e clips) there is a little tip to share. 

 

You know those pesky circlips that simply will not stay on the circlip pliers long enough to open them and install over the shaft?  Try turning the circlip over, the pliers may grip better.

 

This is because the little holes in the circlip are punched through in manufacture and tend to be a little tapered, so, as your plier tips are a bit tapered too the ciclip just slides off. Turn it over and the reverse taper causes a sharper edge to grip the plier tip.

 

Installing the circlips the right way up eases subsequent removal too.
