<font size="+1"><font face="Arial">That's the main advantage of
using the long bolt method. It works with or without the weight
of the engine because the forces are exerted only between the
A-arm and the spring pan. It is also a lot safer. I even use my
pneumatic 3/8 " ratchet to make things go faster. The tool I
designed uses 1/2 " threaded connectors so there is more bearing
surface than with a regular bolt head.<br>
