    I have been trying to figure how to take apart the road springs that are attached directly to the frame. They are held in by a threaded disc has multiple .250″ holes and I figured I would have to fabricate a tool to remove them. Then I found this Snap-On Ball Bearing Spring Wrench.

    I found it interesting that Snap-On would have a set of tools designated for Pierce Arrow. I am sure some are the same as other applications. I wish I could see the date on the Snap-On chart.

    Now I will have to go see if it works.

    These tools are date coded. An example of this tool is shown on the “Collecting Snap-on tools”” website and is date coded 1929.”

    The big question is where did you find the tool to buy it? Does a Snap On dealer still have access to order one for a customer ??

    I searched Ebay, with no luck.

    I used two tight fitting drill bits into holes on opposite sides of the nut/retainer. And put a pry bar between them and the retainer came right out..

    But a dedicated tool for the job is so much more elegant.. :-)

    John, yes I prefer rust to fur and pellets. It also eats less.

    Paul, Than you for the site. I see they list it as a Studebaker Tool also.

    Greg, This was an E bay item, but part of looking for something is knowing there is something to look for. I was going to use two .250 hardened steel dowel pins and a lever, as you described, but now I can use a long cheater bar and do it in a Tux.

    I’ve used a tool called a “face spanner wrench” that works well. I understand that they are used for servicing hydraulics.

    I bought a Snap-On Bluepoint, but they don’t seem to carry it anymore. If you do an internet search you will find one from other manufacturers.
