its not complicated...place 1 side in the vice,tap the retaining rings out, grab a hammer and a railroad spike or something, and tap on top and bottom of each 1. i had to really put some ass into a few of them to get em out. take it to o'reilys, and they will match it out. the next size up is so much bigger, its not hard to figure out which 1 u need.
