Ok, I have Scat rods on wiseco pistons right now. I need to separate the piston from the rods. Because im going with a different set of rods. I see the clips on the side, but my question is how do i remove those dam clips? I know this might be a noob question but i tried to do some searching and no luck. Thanks in advance for any help.

good quality pick set will do wonders.. and patience is much needed .. some of those C clips and clip rings can be PITA at times..

OMG PITA!!!! I jus used a 0 fat head screwdriver, just take your time. Your should not be in a rush when working on a engine.

careful they go flying sometimes so unless you have a new set of clips put a rag over it while you do it or something.

Ok, well how do i even take it out? Do i have to pry it out or what? Im just confused because i have a clip plyer remover that is not working. Just not to sure what you guys are actually doing to get theses out.

i used a ziplock bag and a screw driver. How else do you think our going to get them out lol Yes you have to pry them out. Or take them to a shop and have them swap the rods for you because putting them in, well you guessed it, another PITA!!!
