[TR] tool id

[dave n]

I had one with a previous car, and it worked great!  I am sorry you have had a bad experience.  I thought it was a great tool, and prevented damage to the knock offs.  thank you for the link.

Dave -

It is Moss p/n 386-165 and, in my opinion, a waste of money.  I have witnessed many of these fail in normal use.

I have a purpose-made aluminum socket for the wires on my other (52mm knock-offs) car as it can be troublesome, but never had to get any tool for the TRs.

For any wires it is hard to beat (pun intended) a big lead hammer.

I use a 6 lb hammer from Zoro tools -- I don't so much swing it as raise it up and aim as it comes back down.

Doesn't take very many licks with that bad boy to get the nut loose.
