m-mman Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Its old and battered, but it still does it job just fine. BTW both ends serve a function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But rather than a tool to install a new stem it is better at breaking off the old stems. The narrow end is used for pushing the remaining stub end of the stem back through the wheel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F&J Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 It's for setting the caster and camber on full size rear wheel drive Mopars and Fords, circa 60s 70s. The pointed end fits into one of 2 holes in the top of frame at the upper A arm. The hook grabs onto the upper A arm shaft to pull it after loosening the 2 nuts that secure the A arm shaft to the frame. This is only used on cars that don't have eccentric adjusters or adjustment shims on upper A arms. Just like different bend angles on distributor wrenches, these came in different bends for different makes of cars to fit in there without hitting things like the inner fender. That type of setting caster/camber is such a pain compared to shim style or eccentric style adjusters....until you have plenty of experience. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hooks go into the split portion of the tie rod sleeve such that as you twist it, it opens or spreads the threaded area making it perhaps a little easier to turn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-mman Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Ok, it looks like a generic hook device. This one is a Craftsman. Snap On sells one that looks identical. Same tool, but each company has different uses. What do the descriptions from Craftsman and Snap on recommend buying this tool to accomplish? BTW, it DOES accomplish the recommendation(s) very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Craftsman had a larger version of it advertised for breaking radiator and heater hoses loose from their nipples. A good sharp pocket knife or box cutter always worked for me, since if I was pulling a hose I was usually intent on replacing it. I need to go digging back thru the tool boxes. I know there's more "unusual" stuff in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I thought we had too, and I've gone back thru the whole thread trying to find the socket Halifax mentioned. But this has been a fun thread that I hope keeps going. HalifaxHops, look on a Virginia map, about midway of the VA/NC border and you will find another Halifax, both a town and a county, where I live.
