    Posted this earlier on the 430 posts page. Does anyone have any suggestions or a particular tool required?

    "Changed the oil in my F430 yesterday. I purchased the kit from Ricambi which includes a filter to be put into the gearbox housing. However, there is a snap ring holding the filter in place. I tried several different screwdrivers, etc. but couldn't get it out (It kept sliding around its slot which didn't help matters any.) So, I just proceeded with the rest of the oil change without removing the gearbox housing filter. For those of you who have done this before, does anyone have any suggestions?"

    Thanks

    Not really sure if this snap-ring is anything unusual, maybe you just need to buy the proper snap-ring pliers.
