to get the needle and snap ring out of the slider....
 

when I had my bike taken apart last week I wanted to raise the needle up 1 but didn't know how to get it out of the slider... I was told that i guess a small tipped flat head might work... Can someone please explain this? Cause everything I've come across just merely states to raise it one by moving the snap ring... DUH :roll:


nevermind... found it in the service manual

Glad I could help.
