•
(2) forked angle brackets (50 x 55 mm).
•
(2) angle brackets (45 x 55mm).
•
(2) 5.25” x 1” x 0.25” pieces of flat stock steel.
•

•
(8) 1/4” x 20 nuts

Assemble the components to form two tools that are
mirror images of each other. See Figure 6.31.
NOTE: Install the bolts so that the bolt heads are on the inside. See Figure 6.31.
NOTE: Note wrapping the parts of the tool that make contact with the idler bracket and the wheel, will mini-
mized the chance of scratching the components while using the tool.
