I nearly fell over laughing about about how stupid I was. I am always looking for ways to make jobs simpler. I got sucked in to this to the tune of $37 by the time it arrived. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
The piston removal kit consists of: 1 Banjo bolt 1 Banjo fitting 1 Grease fitting 4 Copper washers Everybody out there that has any spare parts should be able to replicate this kit. Attached thumbnail(s)

I received an email from Dennis Butts VP of Parts at Zim's. He did not feel that I was correct about being "sucked" in about this tool. I said I would correct my error. NO ONE twisted my arm to buy this set up. I stated I was disappointed about this tool because the setup is hardly new. On page 113 of the Haynes and page 249 of the Lash handbook they show using the banjo bolt set up with compressed air but no grease fitting You can also use the correct size grease fitting (square type with fitting on the side) and bypass the whole tool set up.
I am sorry if this reflected poorly on Zim's. They do a good job and I have bought parts from them from the 1990's to present. I hope there are no hard feelings. Thanks, Mark |
