Gear Press Tool
Got my press tool for the engine gearbox done. Went to work late last night and used the press to take it apart. That tube is 5" OD with 1/4 inch walls, DOM steel. I just couldn't pay $200 for the tool from Lockwood Aviation. Squared up one side and turned the other face so they are parallel. Polished the face that presses on the gear. Then cut out the windows to allow access to the keepers. To finish the work I need several protection buttons, sleeves and pullers. Looks like I can make most of what I need.
I did buy some tooling from Lockwood but for sure I'll make what I can. If you have a lathe it's crazy not to.
