Now THAT is generous. How much will Boeing save with this tool?
I used to take my old collectible GM stuff (when I was in the Old Car Hobby) to a shop operated by an old fart who’d worked for years for the local Chevy dealership (this was back in the 90’s before he retired.) He was helpful cause he KNEW shit I didn’t know. I took a 67 Corvair coupe to him cause the O-ring seals on the pushrod tubes were leaking and it was all covered by an engine shroud that was part of the heating system, and the serpentine belt was involved in getting the shroud off, due to the big ass crank pulley on top of the engine. (It was an air-cooled flat six OHV.) .
Turned out that getting that pulley off was an hour and a half “book time” but Old Gene had MADE his own tool and shared it with the dealership that made the pulley removal a 12 minute job, a savings which they never passed on to any customers or rewarded Gene for. So when he left the dealership he took HIS tool with him.
Can’t even tell you how pleased he was to see my Corvair, 25 years old, and needing his tool.
