Tool sources?

[airmitch]

Hey guys,

Two questions-

Where is the best place to buy a lug wrench for a Deuce?

Does anyone have one of the four legged little hoists for trans/ trransfer case r&r for sale?

Thanks

Hi Airmitch;

First off, a 3/4 or 1" impact sure makes easy work of r&r on the wheels. That being said, the next best is a good 3/4 breaker bar, long extension, wheel socket and some type of jackstand or support for the outer end of the extension. I generally use Craftsman tools, but that's just me. Once you have them broken loose, You can spin them off with a heavy cross wrench. Most farmstores sell these. Make sure it's the one with an 1-1/2 hex and 13/16 square on it. I've also used these to break em loose by supporting the outer end as mentioned above and useing a pipe on the cross, but I don't think it's too good for the wrench.
I've seen the type of hoist you mentioned for sale on ebay, but maybe someone on the forum has or knows of one for sale.
Finally, where in southern Wis. are you located? I'm on the east side of Cottage Grove.

Hey Lacoda56,

I'm about 1 mile west of Silver Lake, or about 10 miles east of Lake Geneva. How far is that from you?

Thanks for the tool tips guys.

a flip lug socket works great NAPA part #NHP660.

If you are using a 3/4 impact, this is the socket you need:

It's a dual type 1-1/2 and 13/16, Snap-on BWD482.
Got mine on ebay for about $20.
It works beautifully.

Airmitch.

Cottage Grove is 5 or 6 miles east of Madison so I'm guessing about an hour or a little more.

Can anyone give me a source for an air driven jack? Of course it will have to handle the weight, but I've always thought having a jack you could slip under the axle with the flat, hook it up to the air connection (is this what you folks have been calling a 'GLADHAND'?) and then step on some type of switch and up it goes.

Some one HAS to make one. I just haven't found one yet. I'm a big fan of letting the 'right tool' do the work for you, instead of the sweating to the oldies type of tool. Thx.

A gladhand is a connector to hook up to the airline.

Hey wallew,

We have several air type bottle jacks and a couple air operated floor jacks at work. The floor jacks are a lot more stable and lift higher,but cost considerably more. The ones we have are made by Gray. I'll have to check tomorrow to find out who our supplier is, but I would think any industrial hardware supplier should have them.
Hope this helps.
Ron

What psi can you get out of the on board air? That jack calls for "Available air pressure 115 to 175 PSI." Sure would be nice not to have pump the old bottle jack.
