GeneralDisorder Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 (edited) The official tool is a slide hammer with a hook. Yes snap-on and all those guys make hooks for slide hammers. SOA part #399094310.... Which appears to have been replaced with this one: http://subaru.spx.com/detail.asp?partid=499097300 GD Edited February 26, 2009 by GeneralDisorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craftsman has a slide hammer for 30 bucks, if I could find a hook small enough I would be in bussiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 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.

XT6 Magic Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I just modified a battery "J" hook bolt with a grinder and it worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihscout54 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
