my engine turning tool
« on: January 28, 2017, 00:02:38 »
Hey All,

This works great.  I drilled  a hole through a 80mm 15 flat oil filter wrench.

It fits perfectly inside the crankshaft pulley. Sliding cheater onto the 1/2 inch ratchet gives you better mechanical advantage.

I did one too, but not so sophisticated and a little difficult for short precise shaft turns:

1. Took some wires, fuse, momentary switch, clip and a pin for connectors
2. Put the wires, clip, pin, switch and fuse together
3. Clipped one wire to battery +
4. Put the pin into cold start relay connector plug, connection no. 86

That was the easiest way I could think of. But precise turns are difficult.
