Knuckle Centering Tool

subzali · 12-20-07, 10:26 AM

Do any of you guys up north have this little beauty? I'm going to look into buying one, but I figured if I was going to come up for the Dec. meeting anyway maybe I could just borrow it. Need to get my Cruiser back online!

Hmmm, whats a knuckle centering tool? Never had to use one....

Matt, funny, I am looking to use one too!

If we strike out maybe we can split one...

Quint - it is the little tool that tells you ultimately how many shims you need to stack on the bottom of the knuckle to center the axle in the hole... See FSM for knuckle rebuild.

Nope, already talked to CDan. They get their tools from an OEM tool supplier...I'm calling about it today.
