changing trebles

[rickets]

ok, never done it before, got the old trebles off with little difficulty, but getting a new treble onto the split ring.. jeez there must be a technique to this?

cos its so small, its fiddly...

anyone got any tips or ingenous little tricks to getting small trebles inside small split rings? :P

Smith Split ring tool, I use em when I'm at work. When I'm home i usually just use a pair of longnosed pliers. Helps alot if they have the corrigated jaws. Takes a bit of practice, but it gets easier...The Smith Split ring tool is $14.99 from memory.

Everyone has there one way.
The best way i have found , and it can be done in 10seconds flat, is to firstly part the split with the old treble , then slide in the new treble and feed it round .

Old treble falls off , new treble goes on. The one step installation. I have found if you take the old treble off and you are left with just the ring,things can get might fiddly

yeah i do the same as crabman nick. i dont really think split ring pliers are necessary on such light rings.

I use nail clippers to change my trebles and have found it pretty easy to do.
