Looking for Bratton’s 1560T rear hub bearing seating tool, or current substitute.

Is using a spring spreader highly recommended? Have some concern with, Widow-maker, nickname. Current rear shocks showing some decline. If not competing are modern tube shocks considered a fully functional alternative.

Thanks, Lloyd

I have seen 30”, but that seems short. Can’t get under the car right now. Thanks.

Thanks. They are the later type. Odd to have such a poor design on such a critical part. Have found three OEM (non-eBay). Two in PA, one in Missouri (Bixby).

Need left and right 30-31 rear radius rods. Current ones split. Lloyd Hoffman 304-282-0578 llohoffman2@yahoo.com

Need the name for the oval rods that are bolted to each rear backing plates and meet under the transmission. In effect a triangle formed with the rear axle.

Ok, clutch depression didn’t change crank pressure needed. So I applied my manly shoulder and arm strength to TDC set. Re-timed with NU-wrench and she started right up. Appreciate all the good responses, thanks again.

Yes, NU-wrench.

1931 s/w Town Sedan with rebuilt motor (250 +- miles), neutral gear shift location. Started normally before current timing reset. Using the hand crank to set TDS for U-wrench. Incredible effort required to move the crank. Previous motor could be moved by hand turning the fan. Is this normal...

I apparently have stripped the top thread on one bracket hold down stud post. Haven’t been able to find a picture showing whether the stud base is welded, or held at the base with a nut. Seems like it should be a nut as the replacement studs are threaded at both ends. Floorboard is out so if I...

Failed to include the installed alternator in the background. In any case it appears that I should just to continue installing the new battery the same way as the replaced one. Appreciate the quick reply. BTW, didn’t know the car didn’t care how the hookup is configured so long as one post is...

Thank you all on spark arrester rod.

Probably an odd question. Is a spark adjustment rod touching the motor head a problem? Should seem a problem transferring hear to the distributor.

Thankyou to all that responded. Going with. 1400+F, and will use wife’s meat thermometer. Carefully of course.
