It's for a Mercedes and the new picture is of two for a Franklin automobile like in my picture. I have aligning studs for installing transmissions and intakes and such. But in the pic you submitted, notice the rounded/slightly pointed end compared to the original poster's pic. In the original poster pic, you can clearly see the squared off and knurled. An aligning stud would look like your pic. That knurling is a way to get a good finger/hand grip on the tool. The original poster's pic is not an aligning stud.

The original poster's pic is not an aligning stud. Sorry Maybe this will change your mind. You can buy your very own aligning stud with the knurling on the end on Amazon, as well as numerous other places on the internet. There are many variations in the design. The knurling is to make it easy to grasp the stud to screw it back out after you have installed the bolts that hold the wheel on.

Sorry I really don't know what your talking about. And, I doubt you do either. The first pic. I submitted is a Mercedes wheel pilot. (as shown in my first photo here and what Ronnie showed you on Amazon) The second pic I posted is two wheel pilots for a Franklin automobile. (see my second photo here of the 1928 Franklin DWG) In their remake the ends where rounded for ease of making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stude17 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) 21 hours ago, hook said: It looks to me like a bearing flusher/washer. From an internet search I agree with hook that the first photo is a bearing washer (ARO Model 640-007). I don't know what the second photo is but I don't believe it is connected to the bearing washer. Actually on second thoughts it probably is part of the bearing washer and is the end piece taken off. The holes probably spread the cleaning fluid around the bearing. Never seen one of these before.

rocketraider Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 The Snap-on looks like a bending tool, maybe for carburetor linkage though the slots are narrow for that. Could be a tool to align ignition or voltage regulator points? No idea on the puller. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to replace my terminal puller a couple years ago. The one I'd had since auto tech school in the 70s finally gave up the ghost. None of the FLAPS had them or even knew what I was talking about. Even NAPA had to order it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even NAPA had to order it. While these are cool, I have to be honest. I've had a couple of those items for years and frankly have never needed to use them. All my cars with top-post batteries have bolted clamps (I'm not a fan of the spring ring terminals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Back to the terminal puller (and I might have told this story before), my community college auto tech instructor saw a few of his students beating battery terminals with screwdrivers, channel-locks and hammers. He scolded us hard "Boys, BOYS!" and then got the Cornwell Tools jobber to bring enough pullers for all of us to have our own. They were expensive on a broke college boy budget but mine lasted 46 years. They were a tangible reminder of Mr Comer. I often wish he was still here to ask about something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
