Don Coatney Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Time to post tool pictures for all the special tools used to work on these old cars and trucks. A line or two on how you use these tools would be good. Here are some examples. Spark plug cleaner Valve lapping tool with lapping compound Stud extractor used to remove broken studs and bolts Rear drum puller Piston ring expander and compressor 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plymouthy Adams Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 I think this is a challenge thrown out by Don to force me to clean my shop..he knows well that I leave tools laying around all over the place..I best know where a tool is by recalling what job I used it on last thus I am able to walk right to it and pick it up.. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
