I want a wrist pin tool, the expando-slide hammer type. Not interesed in homemade. Does anyone know if of snap on, Mac, or cornwell etc has one. Product # if you have it.

The official tool is a slide hammer with a hook. Yes snap-on and all those guys make hooks for slide hammers.

Thanks for the tip,

but OUCH. Over $300 bucks.

Craftsman has a slide hammer for 30 bucks, if I could find a hook small enough I would be in bussiness.

It is very often neccesary to make your own tools for stuff like this. If you brought something to my work (I work for a machinery manufacturer/distributor) I would just make the tool myself if I needed it. We have slide hammers and I would take a peice of round stock (say 1/4"), make a 90 degree bend in it, cut the bent section short and grind it to the shape I needed. Weld that to a nut for threading on the slide hammer and you are in business. Probably take me less than 30 minutes. All you really need is a vice to make the bend, a grinder, and access to a welder for 5 minutes.

 

Your time is definately worth the $270 you'll save.

I just modified a battery "J" hook bolt with a grinder and it worked great.

Hey John I made my own tool out of some 3/16" solid steel and bent it. Works really good. I will give it to you if you want it. I can have my wife bring it up to boulder area for you. Let me know.

 

Like what this guy uses:)

I made a tool out of a long 1/4" bolt 2 nuts and some 5/16"? fuel hose. Use a nylon lock nun on the end and tighten the inner nut and expand the rubber... I left the wrench in place to tighten and tug.
