I missed that tool completly, is featured in carrier workshop manuals?. I will set to making one of those before doing my rear springs, interesting you only have one set of springs were a universal carrier has an inner set.
thanks for the pics andrew. kevin.

Hi Kevin. I am not going to be able to take the credit for this, but it was pointed out to me by first of Sean in Florida, thanks, and then Lynn found the original drawing. I have just lent mine today, by coincidence to Ben. It worked a treat for me, and I have to say I am rather proud of my little tool. It was just really easy to work and did the job superbly. As mentioned by Richard, if you have problems with the threads I guess it not a great option though.
sorry forgot to reply to the question about inner springs. The T16 has inner springs on the rear bogies, not the front. I guess this is to stop it rearing up and counter the weight of the engine, box and axle. The photos posted were front units obviously. Last edited by andrew honychurch; 28-10-11 at 19:46. |

Yes picked up the tool today, thanks for the loan. I'll copy it next week and get it back to you. it's very simple but looks effective. Plus I saw Andrews T16, it's looking great and with any luck will be tearing up the grass in his garden very soon ;-)
