Rusty is correct. I borrowed one from a mechanic friend who bought his in 1955. On a hunch I walked into my local parts store with it & asked if they had seen this before. The counter man said "just a minute" & came out of the back of the store with an identical tool, on blister pack packaging yet! He said he haden't sold one in years that's why it was in back. Except for the fact that the new one has "Tawian" stamped on it, it's the same tool. It's takes a nano second to remove or install springs with this thing. VERY expensive at $15.17. I spent DAYS fighting with the springs. Talk about feeling like an ass!!!! PS: it also has a part that removes springs from bendix systems, such a deal!!!

Does anyone know where I can find a "brake shoe return spring removing tool and installing wrench" ( So described in my 56 Nassau shop manual) the tool number in the book is C-3462. Thanks. Torry 56 Nassau 60 Adventurer 68 Newport

The heat helps, but after you tighten the arms of the puller very tight on the lug studs & also tighten the center pin of the puller against the axle, Dont' be afraid to give the head of the puller a couple of good wacks with a baby sledge. I was reluctant to do this for a long time, then a retired Chrysler told me "you could get real frustrated or wise up & HIT IT!." I did & it works. Once you get it off, clean the inside of the hub & the tapered shaft of the axle, grease the shaft before you re-install. Good Luck Torry 56 Nassau 60 Adventurer 68 Newport

I'm told there is an adaptor for a 383 on my 60 Adventurer which allows for a PVC valve to replace the downdraft vent tube. Anyone know about this adaptor & it's availability? Thanks.

Other than the speedo being off, what, if any, other problems will I run into by changing wheel size from 14 to 15"?

That coinsides with the limited info out there on this issue. Thank You Torry

Does anyone know the correct WW tire width for a 60 Adventurer? Thanks Torry

Does anyone know the CORRECT width whitewall for a 1960 Desoto Adventurer?

I had to replace the R/R wheel cyl on my Windsor. Other than bending the drum with the puller, it went fairly smooth, UNTIL it was time to hook up the brake springs. What's the secret? I'm considering trying a come-along! Thanks:(

Almost done with the overhaul of the 383cu on my 6o Adventurer. Anyone know the correct engine paint color? Thanks

I'm converting my 68 Newport from manual to power brakes. Can I use the existing brake pedal bracket with the new booster? The rubber boot on the new booster seems a little tight in the "U" of the bracket. Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks Torry

Can anyone tell me if my 56 Windsor has a fuse block & if so, where is it?????????? Also looking for an owners manual for my Nssau.

Is it necessary to drop the P/B booster in order to check the brake fluid? If so, has someone developed an add on to the bowl so this is not neseccary? Thanks Torry

I pulled the push buttons from the trans & heater controls on my 60 Adventurer & the chrome is mostly gone or pitted. Where can I get these rechromed or replaced? Does anyone know how to remove the button from the chrome housing? Thanks Torry

Do you know of a reputable dealer for wheels? Thanks for the input

Still looking for a headlight switch for my 60 Adventurer. Also been shopping for 14" chrome wire wheels. Found a place in Calif who claims to sell them for $400.00 a set. (Wheel Boyz) Anyone ever hear of them or know anything about this outfit? Thanks

Looking for a headlight switch & backup lenses & the chrome trim around the license plate opening for a 60 Adventurer. Selling exhaust manifolds for a big block chrysler, $50.00. Fender mount turn signal indicators for 68 Chrysler, no wiring or lenses. $40.00 for both.

Thanks to all for the help Torry

Trying to activate temp sending unit on above. Currently has A/M gauges on trans hump. Found both wires for sending unit, hot & cold. Do both wires clip to single terminal of sending unit or was I sold the wrong sending unit? Thanks Torry
