Head Honcho Cylinder Head Removal Tool

[ham204stag]

Does anyone have the above tool for lending to someone who is a member of the Stag Fan Club on FB?

PS - I'm interested in buying one if any are available!

Drew posted a detailed article on head removal. Albeit for a Stag, at the end of the article he kindly provided detail for a tool which could be made. http://socforum.com/forum/showthread...r-Head-Removal

That's brilliant thank you!

Whilst we're on the subject shouldn't this tool be sponsored by the club. When I here of the money this club turns over and the cost of a tool that could be loaned out at a area level. Ie make a batch of them. Drew has done the hard work but it's a shame each individual has to make one. I think this should be put forward.

That does sound like a good idea Edd.

+2 JDC or was it JEC offers a loan service for special tools to members

danger though is around some sort of liability protection for club, member rents tool and damages something or even the tool ?!?

I used Paul Goldstars' "push" angle bracket and a 1 tonne bottle jack, was astonished at how easily it shifted the heads. It was way less complicated that the "puller" offering in OP message.

[richardthestag]

rear hub puller would be useful too

I know what you mean, but they seem to manage it ok in the States - the world leader for liability/suing etc

Methinks though that the SOC is somewhat risk averse and not particularly receptive to new ideas - I won't hold my breath

Apparently the guys at Triumph Wedge Owners had offered to the SOC to forward plans for free but nothing came out of it. There was a discussion about it on FB on this subject: https://www.facebook.com/groups/7474...3337157363768/

Plans are available on the internet and published by Dasadrew in the Technical Section of this Forum. http://socforum.com/forum/showthread...r-Head-Removal

I used Drew's plans to make my own, which is currently on its way back from being loaned out to two members.

I used goldstars angle bracket too and agree. Simple but super effective. In fact Paul, I still have it whenever you need it back.

Or Julian nobody has suggested it and done something about it before. The club is 'us' not some mythical beast that makes stuff happen. If it is going to jappen someone must own it

[edd]

Well it's nice the mythical person spends 100k every year on a magazine but an age old problem is not tackled by the club itself. I really think local clubs should be allowed to apply for funding for area projects. This would filter down and be able to let any local member make it their baby and lend it to local members. You could impose a deposit returnable once the said tool is returned.
