  Perry,

  The part number for the service tool is 18G708 per BMC Service Tool
  Catalog published by Churchill in 1965.  It looks like a short socket
  (with the ears) mounted on a tube with a tommy bar on the other end.

  Rob Nortier sells one he manufactures on ebay, but I don't see one
  listed now (and don't remember his seller's name).

  Cheers,
