T16 restoration starts in earnest

[Lynn Eades]

The original tool has a hook on it to help locate the tool some how.
The whole purpose of it is to draw the rod back far enough at one end, so that the other end of the rod is clear of the hole. When you have them apart, be careful of the "cup" It is like brake lining material,which acts as a bearing on the ball. I suggest that you carefully wire a ball into each of these, when sending the suspension to the blasters, or the blasting will rip them to bits.
I have included a picture from the Aust. carrier book. and the text to explain its use. Apart from the thread types, it is the same for all the carriers.
It might be worth making a good job of the tool, as it is used to replace springs, and someone will want to borrow it later.
