I was able to borrow bearing tool locally. Thanks Gary Bovee!
Identified as a Thoma Tool with lotsa misc. parts.

Disassembly is no problem but a description or pictures of the re-assembly tools in action would be helpful.

Checked Gene F's site- didn't find anything.

Please direct me to the info or better yet, just come by and help with the bearing job.

Thanks Roy.
I thought there might be something like that. Now we just need to know where it is hidden.

You getting any snow on your side of the mountains? S'posed to be down to 1500' later today.

No snow day temperature in the 50's 4800 ft I hate snow the wet stuff generally stops on your side of the mountain but we need the moisture real bad.
