2004LEBanshee Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I have a pin style tool that came with my carrier. My issue is it some times bends. Does anyone sell a better tool to make adjustment easier. Yes I loosen the dam bolts. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starwriter Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 If you're bending it, somethings wrong. It should rotate easy. If you want to make a really nice tool, find a decent quality phillips screwdriver that has the same size shaft and grind the phillips end off it.

trickedcarbine Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Just get a shock spanner wrench. Or bend a Phillips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfrjag Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 craftsman #3 should be the same size just cut the Philips end off and BAM you have a nicer better tool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieskes Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Check and see if the carrier is seized up on the brake stay, this happened on one of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted January 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 No it spins but some times its tight in certain areas and it seems to bend easy. I think I screwed the tool up when I first used it. A combo of new powder coating and nuts not loose enough caused me to bend it. I bend it back but it think its just weaker now. It moves a inch or so easy in both directions then gets tough. Probably dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
