Removing SR20 T25 Compressor Housing
So i've read the writeup, i've got the 90 degree needle nose and i'm able to compress the ring but I cant get beyond that. The way the needle nose grab the ring makes it easy for them to slip off. I tried getting under the ring with pick tools to try and lift it up but i cant really do much while the ring is compressed.
Anyone have a trick for this that I am missing?

I had to buy a big-*** set of locking snap ring pliers when I was swapping compressor housing plates on my t28. I tried using the $8 HF large needle nose pliers but they would always slip off.

I have a follow-up question to this.
I cannot figure out how to get the plate off that covers the torx screws on the compressor side. Whats the trick?
I've been slowly disassembling this damn thing for like 2 weeks. I hope I remember how it goes back together if I ever get to it =O

"Once the shaft is out, start taking things out of the inside... the rings, bearings, c-clips, etc..."
I've got the clip off that was similar to the huge pita clip but i cannot get the plate off...i hear it snaps into place, but i dont see how to "un-snap" it.

It doesn't look like there is any way to get a tool in from the hot side to push from underneath the plate. Any other suggestions?
