Thanks Loren. I'll probably give it a try. Bruce Loren Faeth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: He doesn't specify the thread size, but it looks like it will work. I think I spent that much in 1972 dollars to get an adapter made for a normal slide hammer puller. Mine screws onto the 5/8 UNC thread of a commercial slide hammer that I borrowed. Later I made my own slide hammer from a piece of 5/8 rod and a wrist pin from a JD 2 cyl that weighs about 4 lb. I can't remember the thread diameter, but i remember the pitch is 1mm. on the id of the prechamber.
The thread pitch on the ring is 2mm FWIW. To remove the ring, you might be able to do it with a ground socket. I think Dave M just sold a set of the ring tool and slide hammer for a very reasonable price. Before I had the tool, I removed the rings with a small chisel and a small hammer. The ring tool makes the job very easy. For years the prechamber puller and the ring tool were the ONLY MB special tools I ever had. Last year I bought the special socket for the IP delivery valves.
