I decided that I'll post a few tools that were made as special tools to make a task alot easier....

GM strut tool


Mopar 2.4L Crank Dampner Puller


VG30 Camshaft Seal installer

 

Camshaft seal installer looks like one of those 3rd gen rear strut retainer nuts?

 

It is, and works perfectly....

 

Got some more tools I made for special applications but an extreme necessity:

Output Shaft Lifting Tool:


Assortment Of Guide Bolts:


Adel Clamp Pliers:


Close Quarters Chip Detector Wrench:


Allison Fuel Control Idle Adjustment Tool:




MD500 Input D/S Tool:

 

More special tools

Holding/Lifting tools:




Pressing Pins:

 

Amazing. I wish I could weld.

 

Nice job! We have a Kent-Moore right here.

 

I try to make it easier on myself without spending a bunch of money....

 

I've got a drawer full a the shop. I wish I had a water jet but in the mean time cheap sockets (and not so cheap sockets) + welder + grinder has saved me a boat load of time/headache/money

I think my most memorable was duct taping a socket to some PVC to reach the bottom of motorcycle forks. I didn't have a diameter metal tube that would work and it was midnight Oh and then welding an old nut to a welding rod to pull the valve up (err I forget the process exactly). I wish I had a lathe back then so I could have made fork seal drivers.

 

don't have to make butt joints anymore with this...

That's cool, what are the details on that expander contraption?

 

porta power
ram bolted to an exhaust expander

i'll get you the specs once the snow melts down a little.

 

I remember using the HF one of those years ago, it ended up breaking

 

That is cool I have an expander but not that amazing...Great thinking Bro!
