Internal circlip pliers FELO model FL59424040 for broken rings, adjustable span 40–100 mm

Internal circlip pliers FELO model FL59424040 for broken rings, adjustable span 40–100 mm are designed for removing and installing damaged or fractured internal retaining rings in confined spaces. The tool’s adjustable span allows it to adapt to a variety of ring diameters, enabling controlled expansion and extraction of internal circlips during maintenance, mechanical repair and assembly operations. The pliers are intended for professional and hobby use where precise handling of internal rings is required.

Advantages

The adjustable span from 40 to 100 mm provides versatility across a wide range of internal circlip sizes without the need for multiple fixed pliers. The design concentrates gripping force on the ring ends to allow secure expansion and removal of broken or deformed rings. The compact head and slender jaws facilitate access in narrow bores and recessed housings. Constructed for reliable mechanical performance, the tool supports repeatable operation during disassembly and reassembly tasks.

Suitable for

• Maintenance and repair of engines, gearboxes and transmissions
• Removal of broken or damaged internal circlips in bearings and housings
• Assembly and disassembly of mechanical components in confined spaces
• Workshop and field service tasks where adjustable internal circlip handling is required

Key specifications

• Adjustable span: 40–100 mm to accommodate a broad range of internal ring diameters
• Type: Internal circlip pliers designed for damaged or broken rings
• Jaw style: Slim, tapered internal jaws for access into recessed bores
• Operation: Manual, single-hand or two-hand use depending on task
• Typical applications: Removal, expansion and installation of internal retaining rings in confined spaces

How to use

Select the pliers and set the jaw span within the 40–100 mm range to match the internal ring diameter. Position the tapered jaws behind the ends of the circlip inside the bore, apply steady pressure to expand the ring and withdraw it from its groove. For installation, place the circlip on the jaws, compress or expand as required, and fit it into the groove while maintaining alignment. Work with controlled movements to avoid further damaging brittle or corroded rings.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate eye protection and work gloves when removing broken rings. If the ring is heavily corroded or embedded, inspect surrounding components for damage and consider using penetrating lubricant to ease removal. Avoid excessive force that could deform the housing or slip and cause injury.
