Making Your Own Vehicle Tools

[Jessie The Jeep]

Most vintage vehicles have a range of specialist tools to maintain and repair various parts of the vehicles. I imagine that many of these tools are now difficult or impossible to get hold of, so many people out there must make tools for themselves to do these jobs.

 

Please share your designs here, as you may just give someone the inspiration to have a go for themselves. Here's my contribution to start things off. It's a front drive flange puller for a jeep. It's not pretty, but it does the job! I tried to buy one, but nobody I called had any in stock, so I made one.

 

First the puller on its own.

 

Next half way through pulling the drive flange.

 

Last, the flange removed.
