bigboybanshee Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 Hi everyone! I just got a set of used Toomey T5's and was trying to repack the silencers and am having the hardest time trying to get the retainer clip off at the tip part of the silencer. I've tried using needle nose plyers but it just isn't cutting the mustard. Does anyone that has a set of T5's know a good way of getting this clip off? It's the only thing holding me back right now and if you've repacked your silencers I'm pretty sure you know which clip it is I'm talking about...I could take a pic of what I'm having trouble with if that would help. Any input is greatly appreciated!!!! THANKS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboybanshee Posted November 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 THANKS A MILLION!! I really appreciate the help MRMOONEY! I knew there had to be some kind of tool to pull it off. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee tuner Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 MAKE SURE YOU USE A GOOD BRAND OF SNAP RING PLIERS,CAUSE THE CHEAP ASS CHANELOCK BRAND PLIERS WOULD NOT DO THE JOB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboybanshee Posted December 1, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 Funny you say that because I bought a set of cheap ass ones today and as you said...they didn't work!! I'm gonna go by harbor freight tomorrow and pick up some REAL pliers. THANKS guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schizo Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 I spent 20$ for a Craftsman, really nice pliers and they got the ring off with ease...no slippage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KEVPOPPAPUMP Posted December 2, 2003 Report Share Posted December 2, 2003 Harbor Freight snap ring pliers are crap! I have been through Harbor Freight (cracked tip), NAPA (strong but too much angle to grip), Channelock (cracked tip & stripped bit holder), and Craftsman. Craftsman snap ring pliers with interchangeable tips hold up the best. I have taken off my T5 silencer caps many times changing back and forth between Hush Kit and regular tips.

Skidmark Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 next time you have to repack them leave the packing completely and go ride, it sounds wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajogejr Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 where do you get the pack to repack the silencers? If you mean the packing itself....go to any Lowes or Home Depot and get the good old Corning Pink Panther home insulation...works just fine.... Or pay 3 times the price and get some Toomey or FMF branded packing, your choice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
