Lets play guess the home made tool. What does it do? Now with Answer!
Made quickly and roughly from two pieces of scrap metal. 3/4" AF spanner shown for scale.
I'll post the answer once a few guesses have been posted. Mart. Last edited by Mart; 10-30-2019 at 01:28 PM. |

Re: Lets play guess the home made tool. What does it do?
Reminds me a bit of the very crude hub puller I made for the rear axle of my 59 IH pickup. Yours looks much more refined than mine but it did work.

So Mart are you going to make a production run of this tool for the Ford Barners?

I love it that your latex glove has a hole in it and you keep using it anyway. Happens to me all the time...

I looks like it's intended to keep the cursed square headed bolts that hold the backing plates from turning.

here's what i made for that, kind of embarrassing compared to marts fine tool. hey mart, weld a tube on there so you dont need a hub, maybe even a tapered thing that fits the axle on the outside and then clears the bearing race and onto your fancy tool. love the video's !

I did have a bent spanner like that, but I can't find it. I haven't used the new tool in anger but will be trying it soon. I'm not sure, but it might be suitable for front brakes too.
Thanks for all the feedback. Mart. |

Yeah, GB I had one tight one on my truck and it took a lot longer to get that one off than the other three put together. It was only when editing the video that I realised how long it was. That what made me think of a tool for the job.
