Wasn't trying to be a smart @$$, thats what the tool is called. Did you get it apart?

They are actually called "Snap-Ring Pliers". Because thats what holds the valve on, a snap-ring. Not a C-clip. A c-clip goes around the object it is holding. A snap-ring fits into a groove of the object it is holding. Not to be technicaly anal or anything. Its just the truth.

Agreed. However most of the c-clip/snap ring tools I've seen, and the pair that I own, are combination tools that handle either type.
