[NoVa-Corvairs] Gas Sender Unit Remover Tool/fan bearing tool

[jjwallen]

Thanks Bryan,

Yours was my only reply.  I have a Gas Sender Unit Removal tool on order, 
should be here in a few days.  I want to make sure nothing gets damaged, 
although if I were in a time crunch I would take that route.

I think I have a fan bearing greasing tool some where, but I don't recall 
seeing it in the last 10 years.

Jim

Hi Jim,

How did you make out?  I don't know for sure if anyone has the sender 
remover, I have to admit to doing it the caveman way last time with a hammer 
(gently) and screwdriver.

I'm looking for a tool to borrow for a day as well, I'd like to re-grease 
the fan bearing on the '66.  Anybody got one of those?
