Tricky-Ricky Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Anybody have the special tool for removing the shims, or have made one up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I have the ones that a few of us (Jake, me, others) bought from the chap on Supraforums. Is that what you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 I am looking to either borrow, buy or preferably take a pattern and make one myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 If what I have is what you're after then you're more than welcome to borrow. I bought it over a year ago knowing they were rocking horse shit to find, but haven't used it and might never, but I bought it for peace of mind and a rainy day. Suppose you need to figure out if what I have is the right thing. I'll see if I can find the original thread on Supraforums and see if it has pics. I'm not living at my mums so can't take pics.

carl0s Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 OK. The tools I have are the ones from this guy in his picture-guide for the job: http://98mkiv.spaces.live.com/photos/cns!7423A5237F34EB62!360/ See photos 25 (black plastic thing), and 29 (weird long thing). They are what I and a few others have. Somebody should take a mirror of those photos and maybe work it in with TLicense's guide (can't remember if Tony had pictures. It was Tony wasn't it?)

Tricky-Ricky Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Thanks for that, but thats not what i mean, the tool I'm after is for pressing down on the side of the shim bucket in order to give enough space to remove the shim.

Soop Dogg Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I just use a magnet, normally. Never had much of a problem removing the shim from the bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshBhp Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Probably cheaper to buy one. Good tool site, but don't know if they deliver to UK. http://www.zdmaktoolsource.com/wbstore/main.asp?action=PROD&PROD=MK-1904T&CTMP=1 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I mean the tool for pressing down on the shim bucket to gain enough space to get the shim out with the cam in situ. Sorry mate. When I did mine, I didn't think of it as being much of a problem to whip the cams out and do the belt etc while I'm at it. If it's been together long enough for the shims to be worn out of tolerance, it might be worth thinking about a new belt anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
