I put a rear wheel bearing on my 2001 Sportsman 400 4x4 about 3 weeks ago a friend helpd me and we used 2 small screwdrivers and placed a rag over the snap ring to keep it from flying thru the shop. If I were to purchase snap ring pliers I would get KD brand part #1715(NAPA service tool is the same thing and same part #).

The snap rings get rusted and seized ,in the groove,just give it some penetrating oil and a couple taps with a punch, then use snap ring pliers.
