Bud,
I'd be happy to email you some detailed, scaled, digital photos of my TF 
wrench, it they're the same.  I could probably do that this afternoon, if 
you'd like.  My wrench may be different, though.  It appears to have a 
welded repair along the shaft.
On another topic, what does everyone use to top up their shock absorbers 
with?  The operators manual and the repair manual both tell me to use "the 
recommended fluid," but neither will tell me what the recommendation might 
be.

The shocks seem fine, but I recently discovered my father, who had the car 
for the past 38 years, wasn't a stickler for maintaining the fluids.  When I 
checked the transmission fluid and the differential, they were both bone 
dry, much to my horror.  Luckily, everything seems fine, and I hope there 
hasn't been any serious damage.
At any rate, I spent yesterday afternoon lubing the bejesus out of 
everything that could be lubed.  But I couldn't figure out what I should do 
with the shocks.
