Re: KR Wilson Essential Tools for Flathead V8's
Some great information, here. Thanks for taking the time to take pics and post up your thoughts.
I have the crows foot tool and two of the valve spring tools. I had the 618, I think it is, C-clamp valve puller. I had a few others but lost them in the garage fire.
I ordered the CD from eBay last night so that'll help me look for certain things. When I built the AV8, I recall the following would have been helpful:
-perch bolt press
-king pin press
-spring spreader
-spring bushing press
-of course the hub puller but I got mine off with the 3 leg and just a little bit of heat...not much at all
Seems like there were a few other things...
I'm equally as fascinated with DIY tools to do the same things. Some can be fabbed easily, where as some would require machining.
All very fascinating stuff....
