Nuts, I was hoping I could adjust the sight without taking the hood off. It sure was a pain to install, even with a second pair of hands. I can understand why the Soviets didn't bother to reinstall them.
I hope, with the help of this snap ring pliers, that this can be done by one person ?
Edit: Now that I found a picture of the tool, I think my parents have one buried away in their garage. The one issue I ran into with regular needle nose pliers is that the sight hood would turn 90 degrees left or right when I used the pliers in conjunction with the screw driver method. Could someone give me a quick run down of how to use the snap ring pliers properly when installing the hood ?
Thank you for the help, it saves alot of stress trying to figure it on my own.
