Yep, I’ve used it several times. How many people throw parts at a truck to solve a poor running condition and don’t realize it’s a couple bent teeth?! The crank sensor signal is kinda important.There is a Land Rover special tool that looks just like that.
what are you looking to get for one ?It‘s an awesome tool to have but they’re $276! That’s why I decided to make my own.
Not sure. Haven’t thought that far ahead yet.what are you looking to get for one ?
On this board? Lots of people.How many people throw parts at a truck to solve a poor running condition and don’t realize......
For them to be bent somebody had to be in there hacking. When I pull thee trans to do a rear main / cross seals job I pull the pan off and use a semi deep socket on the torque converter bolts. I think those teeth get bent when someone tries to get the torque converter bolts while there's too much stuff in the way.As many times as I’ve seen bent reluctor teeth problems, I’m surprised there’s not much interest. But I guess the number of applicable trucks are getting smaller every day.
My WAG: the reluctor teeth get bent when the rivets holding the ring to the flywheel get loose.As many times as I’ve seen bent reluctor teeth problems, I’m surprised there’s not much interest.
yes, with predictable results.Ever try to rivet that back on the flex plate?
Lol. That had to have made a little racket!!it was loose for about 30k miles until all rivets fell out.
I’ve never witnessed a ring that came off. But dealt with bent/broke teeth a half dozen times or more. Those were all due to a 2x4 during shipping and more so people not paying attention or wrench slipped etc.Is this really a problem or just caused by banging the teeth into something during engine R&R?
Absolutely. Can’t exactly put it off until spring.I bent them back by hand to straighten them when I haven’t had the tool handy.
