 +This tool is cheap at most auto parts stores. \\
 +It hooks both ends of the ring and spreads it apart making the inside diameter wider than the piston. \\
 +Then lift the ring off / on the piston. \\
 +**Caution**:​ only spread the ring just enough to remove / install it.
 +Used on top and second rings. \\
 +(the bottom oil rings are usually removed by hand)
