NeverEasy Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Wanted to pull the knobs today. Playing with the mill and lathe was fun, too. Made a tool that sort of looks like a chain breaker I had. Works good. Line-up with little pin. Screw in and pin drops out the bottom.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 So where is the sign up for the "Loan a Tool" program?.. Great idea! Alie & Jim + 8 paws 2017 DRV Memphis BART- 1998 Volvo 610 Lil'ole 6cyl Cummins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverEasy Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Maybe I should make a loaner. I can mail it to the first requester and he/she can pass it on to the next. Doesn't take long now that I have the dimensions. I will certainly take one to the next rally.

NeverEasy Posted June 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 Ssssh! Now you tell me. I can make mine better now. I like the open slot at the bottom so you can see the pin coming out. Plus, you can take the tool off easier half way through. On mine I just made a larger hole in the bottom piece to allow the tool to be removed at any point in the process. I hope the push pin on this one is the right size. http://www.amazon.com/E-Z-Red-PPT13-Pin-Remover/dp/B00BI2M7H8/ref=sr_1_29?ie=UTF8&qid=1433591220&sr=8-29&keywords=pin+remover Chet & Deb '01 Volvo 660 w/ Smart '19 Forest River Columbus 320RS 5th wheel 2022 Chev 2500HD Long Bed Retired CWO4, USN and federal service Electronics Tech/Network Engineer/Welder/Machinist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverEasy Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I will make you one if you wish when I get back from Yellowstone in July. The one from Amazon is only $15. The only advantage mine might have (don't know the length of the one on Amazon) is overall length. I made it so that the length of threads is barely enough to push out the pin because of the distance between the two knobs. The knobs are positioned such that the pins are in-line making it necessary to put the tool between the two air valve stems.
