Cylinder Removal Tool

Recommended Posts

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.

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.
