What type of tool is used to remove the clip that holds the pin on the peg? Thanks in Advance!

 

Cir-clip pliers. you can get them at most automotive supply stores.

 

I used a knife

 

I used a flathead and some needle nosed pliers.

What year Sporty?

 

snap ring pilers...

 

Teeth?

 

As already posted above, Snap Ring Pliers or Cir-Clip Pliers are two different names for the same tool. Each end of the Pliers has a small pin on it that will fit into the hole in the end of the clip that is on the peg. When you squeeze in on the handles of the Pliers the ends of the Pliers start to pull apart and then the clip will open up enough to clear the peg. I have replaced my original peg and Cir-Clips/Snap Ring with a normal bolt and washer and Nyloc nut so that I can tighten the footpeg enough so that it doesn’t fall down while riding. I just hate when it does that! Plus, you don’t need to carry around Snap Ring Pliers in your tool bag everywhere you go. Sometimes the old fashion, simple things are more useful than the modern, high tech things, but to each there own. Good luck and ride safe!

 

A handie little tool. I could have used one a couple weeks ago. I will get one one day.

 

I have an 07 883 XLC.

 

Got the tool and it worked very well. Installed the new pegs in about 5 min. Thanks for the help!!!
