Any tips or tricks or dependable tools for removing these ?
Opinions and experiences gratefully received .
Gunman, do you know if the Helston tools are any good?
Whenever I get these to do invariably one or both can be troublesome.
What I need is a tool with strong pins and an ability to apply plenty of torque. Brownells used to list one but I find it is now not listed / not available.
Any input greatly appreciated.

The best way I have found is to make them out of tool steel(silver steel across the pond I believe). If you start with Hexagon stock you can forge it out and then use the Hex shaft in the mill or drill press. Has always worked for me in the past. I bent the Menck tool the one time I tried it.

I am away from the shop so I can't post a picture worth a thousand words. I have made several tools using square key stock. Drill holes spaced and sized to match the bushings. insert heat treated drill rod in the holes and use like a spanner.

Thanks Steven, I saw your article years ago , the Menck is no longer available and the others shown do have a habit of breaking regularly on stubborn discs. I guess I will have to make something equally tough as the stubborn discs?

I make the tool like mark makes his.
I insert two or for the three holed ones, three drill bits in holes, the same size as used to drill the holes.
The chucking end goes through the hole & into the striker bush holes.
They can be unbelievably tight.
O.M
