LUCKILY MY FIL WORKED IN A BIG FORD GARAGE AND THEN WAS FLEET MANGER FOR THE LOCAL GAS COMPANY. IF SOMETHING WAS WEIRD LIKE THAT,HE ALWAYS KNEW OF A SPECIAL TOOL AND WHERE TO GET IT, AFTER HE PAST, I GOT ALL HIS TOOLS. I STILL HAVE MANY THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE FOR.
LIKE THE TOOL TO PUT THE KEEPER COIL SPRINGS BACK ON BRAKE SHOES. I SPENT 3-4 HOURS TRYING TO CHANGE ONE WHEEL ON MY HORSE TRAILER. I WENT INTO THE LOCAL PARTS TOOL AND THEY SHOWED ME THAT TOOL THAT COMPRESSES THE SPRING, AND THEN TURNS THE PIN INSIDE THE SPRING. I HAD THREE OF THEM IN MY FIL'S TOOLBOX. I HAD ALWAYS USED PIERS.
ANYONE REMEMBER THOSE OLD STARTER WRENCHES THAT WERE FORMED INTO AN ARC SO YOU COULD GET TO THE BOLT NEXT TO THE ENGINE BLOCK
(STILL TYPING ONE FINGER LEFT HANDED WITH RIGHT ARM IN SLING)
