afewsubarus Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Any advice on how to make a tool or where to purchase a tool to remove a couple of stubborn connecting rod pins on an EA82. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpycam Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I use a broken bolt extractor ( easy-out) or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxy Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Best tool for that job would probably be a V8 hydraulic lifter puller,the slide hammer style ones where you twist the handle and they expand one end to lock in,quite common and fairly cheap for a special tool as pushrod V8 dino's are so common.

Crazyeights Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 That's a great idea, I wonder if it would work? I just did this again on another EA81 with a ground down battery J-Hook bolt. It sure would be easier with the right tool. I think it's a Lisle 13750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ettev Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Concrete expansion bolt. Skinny one to fit inside the wrist pin. Turn nut to expand and pull on it with visegrips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

el_freddo Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I've always gently used a slide hammer with an appropriately sized hook attachment on the end. Works a treat! All the best. Cheers Bennie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
