I just had to do this to my xr50 forks to get no slop bushings in and omg... your right its a PITA.. i didn't even have snap ring pliers i used needle nose pliers that were pretty pointy enough to fit in those little holes.. lol. I rushed it and ended up damaging my fork tube with a screw driver and my bushings were scraping REAL hard on the fork tubes... i just set the forks in a vice and pumped them back anf forth untill the fork tube bushings were worn in and there was no more scraping.. lol
