factory 487 #1 Posted December 23, 2014 Here is the cylinder removal tool I made, which is similar to the one shown in the engine maintenance manual. The instructions given are to make it from a piece of flat steel 3/16" thick & 1" square, with a hole drilled in the middle for using a screwdriver as a "T" handle. The piece of steel & the bar I used came from a box of offcuts & salvaged bits in the shed. I didn't bother to make it 1" square though, I only squared up the ends and drilled the hole for the bar. Leaving it a bit longer allows the tool to be clamped in a vice for cylinders that are too tight to remove by hand. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wallfish 697 #2 Posted December 23, 2014 Looks good! Does it leave marks or dig into the cylinder? I've been using a strap wrench but that has the potential to bend or break the cooling fins. Luckily, haven't had a problem yet but I like your idea too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
