Simple 13mm socket, 914 jack handle, cut at a certain length,
(to fit in engine compartment.)
Welding, grinding, cut off tool makes slot for wire.
No need to remove intakes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

The other tool is a "Short" Engine seal removal.

but 5 minutes,Fabing and welding, seal removed and moved on.

Ball Joint Remover



So I don't have to mess up the ball joint "nut" with a pipe wrench, nor pay $55.00 for this special socket.

Delrin rear bushing cutting tools

Top: Sleeve that fits an already reamed bushing

Center: Reamer with long shaft and sleeve that fits the unreamed bushing in the opposite end of the trailing arm. At the left end a socket is welded to the shaft to turn the reamer.
The rosette welds hold short pins that capture the square end of the reamer but allow it to be removed as needed.

Bottom: Face cutting tool to precisely adjust the end play of a pivot shaft in the bushings

Rear boot torsion bar tool

Made this tool for fitting of (fighting with!) the torsion bars to the rear boot hinges, there is a picture of it in the Haynes manual, need a R and L version, this is the R one...still with this tool I did not like fighting with the bar (talk about mouse trap!), is there another way of fitting the bars?

I don't remember where I saw it but the fiero has similiar springs and there is what seems like a pretty good tool available maybe you could copy it if you can find a picture. I need to adjust one of my fieros now. One has been sitting in my shop with the trunk open for about 7 years so maybe it will be okay when I get around to using it again. It also has a lighter trunk than the gt I'm having problems with. I use a cresent wrench with a notch cut in it for my purposes.

bearing removal tool - not mine

see thread

http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...nteresting+find

text from designer...

QUOTE(MrKona @ Feb 21 2009, 11:36 AM) *
Thanks Jeff. I used an 8" x 3/4 " bolt and appropriate nut. Of course, different threaded pieces could work. The important parts are: 1) Black piece, which is a "3" fitting cleanout adapter" from the plumbing section of the hardware store. The small end has a 3" ID and just shy of 3.5" OD. The large end (which rest on the trailing arm) has an ID of 3.5" and an OD of 4". 2) 2" diameter washer which mates with the bearing. 3) 3.5" large washer which rests on top of the black plumbing piece.

I added a couple extra washers on top of the large washer as you can see from the pics. This really wasn't necessary. Only needed if the nut is too small for the hole in the large washer.

Also, If I really wanted to get fancy and avoid holding the threads with a Vice grip, I could have added two additional nuts and cinched them tight to one another, then held one with a wrench to avoid gnarling up the threads.

Made another tool today. This piece fits tightly on the inside of the rear hub. A slide hammer goes through the middle and a few swings later, the hub is out. Quick, easy and safe. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boldblue.gif)

Here is one that is surprisingly simple but I find I use it the most

It bolts to the rear hubs w/o wheel using the stock lugs & prevents
turning even when busting off then stub nut. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

A picture of you using that tool would be interesting. Do your feet reach the ground?

Handle made when fitting the rear window, one in each end, found it hard to manouvre the glass into its final position without handles.
Yes I know there are vaccum lifters but I did'nt have any... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

This looks interesting Rich. How does it fit through the targa latch cup hole when its so long? Can you post a photo of how it works to unlock the latch?
