Total chaos UCA help

[Bonniem]

Hi guys, I’m replacing my total chaos UCA Uniballs but can’t get the seized snap ring out. Needle pliers not strong enough keeps bending. Any ideas?
Thanks

take it off the truck. put it in the vise. soak it over night. now that it's off the truck you can use a small punch to pry against the cup and get the snap ring to break loose. be ready with a socket and sledge hammer to get the uniball out. if the snap ring is seized imagine how much of a pain that uniball will be. i had a heck of a time getting the ball joints out of my DirtKing uppers and I live in Arizona lol.

Pb Blaster and stronger snap ring pliers

PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, etc. and a socket that will fit inside/over snap ring, then give it a few whacks with hammer to loosen it in it's groove and keep trying.
