Tool for removing/replacing push button clips

[divengolf]

Can anyone point me to a source for such tool? I could probably remove the clips with needle nose or similar pliers, but there is a special type of pliers to install the clips. I've used them for larger automotive clips, but never seen ones that would handle the smallish clips in our housings.

Also do you get you replacement clips from the housing mfgr or buy them third party. I know they need to be SS.

Thanks.

Small needle nose will work. Maybe right angle ones if available. If you can determine the size of the c-clips (metric) a 3rd party will be cheaper. May have to buy a pack of 50-100 for example. Manufacturer or service/repair facility would have the correct sizes. These small clips are fragile, so do not reuse.
