Retaining Ring Tools

Updated June 2025

Recently, we updated our installation guides and Missing Links kits to eliminate the need for any special retaining ring tool. 

Previously, Madrone offered our own retaining ring tool, but it was very inefficient to make, so with the procedure and product updates, we no longer need to offer the Madrone tool.

If you still plan to use a retaining ring tool, the only one we recommend is the Knipex ‎49 31 A0. It is available for about $30 USD from many online retailers.
