    Cutting Torch??

    AND what kind of 39 trans?

    If you can't use a screwdriver you have no business messing with the ring you may shoot your eye out :)

    Your welcome

    If I'm replacing the bearing, I use a cutoff wheel and grind through most of it. Then buy a new snap ring when you get the bearing. Way cheaper than all the headaches you'd get working with the stock goofy snap ring.

    Anybody who hasn't actually tried to remove a stock Ford snap ring from these trannies has no idea how hard they are. And I applaud guys like Bluto who think it's a piece of cake.

    That was a joke! Sunny got it you didn't!

    I know walking and chewing gum is a hard job for you without swallowing the gum.

    SO How that really fast Stupid-charged Stutz of your doing??
