During my Navy Career I sometimes used wintergreen as a solvent / penetrant to help remove wing fold cylinder bolts and stuff like that. It
smells like the name sounds, like wintergreen mints. Not certain what it's
consistancy is but it does work. It was never in our normal supply
system for aviation maintenance however. When ever we used it someone would have to go to sick bay to draw a small bottle of it.
I'm not sure what the medics used it for, but thats where we always got it.

Add my vote to the votes in the other thread about a drum puller as well. Very nice work btw, and thanks for the kind words in that PM a while back.



Drum pullers are readily available to fit wide 5 drums.

I have the K-D 2251 3 arm, available at NAPA. It'll rip the shoes right out of the adjusters if you forget to back them off..... should have took pictures (of course I was 6 weeks into getting that m#@%#$%@!#$!@#$ing drum off by that time)


The ones I know of are:

OTC # G- 827-B (four arm, use 3 for ours)

OTC # 7394 (3 arm, amazon sells it too)

K-D 2251 (same as the OTC 7393)


See it here:

Hey guys,

I just wanted to take the time to say thanks to everybody who gave their advice and opinions on the hinge pin tool. I also want to give a BIG thanks to the people who have purchased one. Very Happy The responses have been overwhelming and have far exceeded my expectations. I have sold out of my second batch and I hope to start on another after the holidays. If you emailed me before and I haven't got to you yet I hope to in the coming weeks. If you want one from an upcoming batch email me and I will start a new list. Keep the tool wants/ideas coming. Once again Thank you all.

Joey

Just had a chance to use Joey's hinge pin tool. Worked like a dream. Had a mirror arm that was broke off on the top and bottom. Luckily no one ever tried to drill it out. Not even 5 minutes and it was out.

Steering wheel puller as well just as nice.

Outstanding work Joey, thanks.

I was carying that heavy-ass tool down to the basement in one hand while holding something else in the same hand, and when I got to my shop area the hinge tool slipped right out of my hand SMASHED into the concrete floor. I barely got my bare foot out of the way in time.

Needless to say - before I bent over to pick up the tool, I was thinking that surely I fucked it up somehow because of the sheer weight and how hard it hit the floor, but behold! It didnt even hardly scratch the paint.

This thing is high - high quality folks. If it would have hit my foot, I am sure it would have broken every bone!

Thanks again Joey - thought you might like the story.

That is funny Jack. I tell people when they comment about the weight of the tool that if all else fails you could always beat the hinge off the door with it. Laughing

I know Ronnie you want one lighter. Lighter means more work, more work means cost goes up, cost goes up fewer people buy. Crying or Very sad

joey,
would it be possible to use your hinge pin removal too to press out high hinge cargo door pins? maybee something extra could be milled into your design to allow it to be dual-purpose for this? just an idea.

Hey thanks for the input. I did make a modified version of the tool a few months back with the hope of it removing bus mirror arms and cargo door hinge pins. The tool proved to be too awkward to use and didn't perform up to my standards. So I have stuck with what the tool does best, remove bus and beetle front/cab door hinge pins.

Joey

Got one of the door pin removal tools from the latest batch. Arrived on time and on schedule.

I am VERY impressed with it.

It pushed out my loose pins with ease, however on a tight, really rusty hinge pin, I reallly had to work it, but it DID come out. Mind you I chose to remove the pins DRY (the pins not the tool) not lubricated per Joey's instructions, as I did not want any oils or anything like that on the primer.

100% happy.

The only problem is now everyone I know wants to borrow it!

I have one from the new batch on the way.
Daisy, my single cab has pins stuck hard enough that oil, heat and an air hammer won't budge them. I'm hoping this tool will.
On the subject of using this tool for cargo hinge doors, could smaller diameter push pins be substituted for the larger diameter ones supplied?
As long as the push pin is a slightly smaller OD than the hinge pin itself, it should work?

Great tool, Joey! Just used on a lower frozen bus hinge. A little soak with oil & pow! Rest of process went well with little effort which tells me minimal strain on screw in press attesting to beefiness of design & muscle. Make sure & bring extra steering wheel pullers to Bulli '08. Idea

Hey neverdun, I'm glad that the tool worked good for you and send me some pics of the work that you've done.

I do plan on bringing those tools and some different ones that are in the works to bulli but the CTS show is next on the list. Wink

Thanks,

Joey

Tell me more about the hinge pin remover. What is the cost? It can be used to remove all bug door pins but not buses. Can it be used to reinstall a new hinge pin?
I also have a questions. I have a 68 bug and want to install swan neck mirrors. If I remove the 68 hinge pin can I install a 67 hinge pin instead. The 67 has a threaded top hinge pin correct? Where can I find a nice pair of swan neck mirrors too. Something nice and not too expensive.

Thanks!
Ray

Hey, Raynaldo: take a look at Joey's other ads: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=522556

If you have specific questions about the tool drop Joey a Private message.

As for substituting the pins, CIP1 says that standard pins for a 68 would be 0.3165" see: http://www2.cip1.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ACC%2DC10%2D3038
and Wolfsburg West sells pins that show an oversize for a '67 of about the same diameter.....might work.
http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/wolfsburg_new/door_components/bug_common/hinge_pin.cfm
But I'm not sure if earlier pins are the same length as later pins.

By the way, Swan mirrors are not usually attached to the top hinge pin.....

As for the mirrors, keep checking the Classifieds. Which do you want: Something nice and not too expensive .... that should be "or" rather than "and".....
