| This is great. The rim trick doesn't work for me. I have a Purple spring which is stiffer and my 180lbs isn't enough beef to get the job done.
Great Thread!! | |

| Well guys I don't have a pic but I used an oil filter cap thing that you use to take the oil filter off with. The one that fit the rhino filter works well. Cut some slices in it and a piece of all thread with washers n nuts. Works great. I'll post a pic tonight. If only we could keep the nut from flying at our nuts we would be good !!!! | |

Here are some pix of a tool that I made a while back. Less than $10 in materials from home depot and all that is needed is a drill press, drills, tap, scroll saw and file. This is quite similar to the tool described in the service manual.
