The best thing would be the right tool, but I've always used a big ole screwdriver and a hammer, or a hammer and a socket that is about the right size. |

Peace, Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should give an immediate view instead of an interpretation of the world. :-] |

Have you seen a Park Rocket tool? http://www.parktool.com/tools/RT_1.shtml When I had easy access to a shop I've used one. Easy to make a home-made one. But with what material should I start with? I've made installers but they were easy. It seems you need the right steel for the remover to work without breaking or crumbling. Greg |

I've made installers but they were easy. It seems you need the right steel for the remover to work without breaking or crumbling. Any mild steel ought to survive. Mild steel is easy to cut with a hacksaw. I got a piece of EMT conduit about 0.9" OD (costs a couple bucks for 10 feet, available at all home improvement stores), and cut the flares. Works for both 1" and 1-1/8", just adjust the flares by bending them in/out. |
