Lance Smith Posted August 12, 2022 Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 What tools are being used to J overdrives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Smith Posted August 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 For solenoid removal, I am using a 30 degree thin head open end spanner from McMaster-Carr, 5414A16, 1" flats, 1/4" thick, almost 7" long. www.mcmaster.com This wrench will work on the bench and also just barely works with the O/D in the car.

Lance Smith Posted August 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2022 For threaded Plug removal and reinstallation, I am using an adjustable pin spanner. It has no brand markings on it. This spanner works well on the bench, but is difficult to uses with the O/D in the car between the frame rails. Once the plugs break loose, All three plugs inside the sump have approximately 0.203- 0.211" holes on a 5/8" pin center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Smith Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 The Spitfire 1500 workshop manual suggests use of tool, L.354A, which looks like a pin socket to remove the threaded plugs inside the sump. Skandix.de offers a Tool, Overdrive, 1019212, but it is out of stock at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Smith Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Steve Payne, in Courier 504, describes how he made his own removal tool by welding three bolts of the appropriate size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Smith Posted August 13, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 Is there a source for Tool L401 for removal of the relief valve piston assy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 why do you need all the tools to stripout ..for what ??? J s are pretty reliable apart from the solenoid sticking is there a good reason to need to strip out the workings of the hydraulics ???

Lance Smith Posted August 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 I don't need all the tools. I can get by with the pin spanner and thin 1" wrench that I already have. I don't have the L401, but was just curious. Yes, I am working on the O/D in the car. I have read the other O/D threads, but really I am just trying to clean the filters and renew the o rings at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daverclasper Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 Not very professional, though I used a hammer and punch for the 3 plugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 On 02/10/2022 at 07:19, Mathew said: That can work, the only problem being the damage to the holes and eventually making it impossible to open with or without a tool. Sure. Maybe, they don't have to be removed again, or only occasionally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Truman Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 Isn't it just as easy to make a tool with a length of MS bar drill and tap two holes at the correct centers and put two small Phillips headed bolts thro. I made mine with an old open ended spanner using the same drill and tap method. What about the old bike pedal shaft spanner or two pin angle grinder spanner are they compatible re pin centres.

68vitesse Posted October 5, 2022 Report Share Posted October 5, 2022 On my J type some of the pin holes were damaged, after removal, pin and punch, I drilled new ones but some of the plugs are thicker than others. Regards Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
