They are used fro installing or removing circlips . Circlips or snap rings are used to hold bearings in housings or on shafts. There are interior and exterior rings, and so there are internal and external circlip pliers, as well as sets which can switch between both applications. Circlips are found in most places where bearings are used for parts which will turn, pivot or spin, and so circlip pliers are used in many places and for many different industries.

Removing a cv gator on a ford escort van?

Undo the 17ml pinch bolt holding the bottom ball joint on, hammer down on the lower arm to get the ball joint out of the hub.... Undo the 32ml hub nut (this will be tight) and then pull the hub towards you whilst gently tapping then end of the CV joint to get this out of the hub..... The tricky bit will be getting the CV joint off..... Clean the inside of the joint off (can get messy) and feel around for a circlip.... Use a pair of circlip pliers to open the circlip and then pull on the CV joint to remove it from the driveshaft and then pull the gaitor off...... To put the CV joint back on open the circlip again and then gently tap the CV joint on until the circlip locates itself on the groove on the driveshaft.
