Mystery tools


Recommended Posts

The 1936 Chrysler Parts List names components of the factory tool kit provided with these cars. Two of them are unique to the C11 Custom Imperial as far as I can determine. One is a "wheel balance weight wrench". I've used pliers-like devices for installing and removing wheel weights on cars in the '60s and later. However, a photo i found in the shop manual suggests 1936 wheel weights were rather different in design. Does anyone know of a predecessor to the combination hammer and pliers I used for wheel weights in the '60s? 

The other is a "push rod adjusting nut wrench." I can find only two uses of "push rod" in the shop manual. One is the operating rod on the brake master cylinder and the other is a long, slim rod that slides inside the vacuum brake booster to operate the valve in the booster. It's terminated with a nut, and I suspect that's what this second tool is for. But what does it look like? Any ideas? 

Thanks for any help.
