Tool identification.

[Barrie]

This has been in the back of my CV8 for so long I’ve forgotten what it’s for.
Any ideas what it is and how to use it?

[Chris_R]

Handling odd shaped nuts?

[RockyUSA]

Hauling whales on board?

[Steve Payne]

I am sure I have seen one before but in a modern car but it was straight.

Assuming you want a straight answer Barrie, we have one of these too! It's to hook round the alternator to assist with tightening the fan belt.

[Barrie]

Always give it to me straight Helen.
Everyone knows I’m not one for light-hearted banter.
Now I’ve got that sorted out I just need to work out how to use the blessed thing!
Presumably the hook goes around the frame of the alternator and catches onto a stout part of same and a socket spigot into the star shaped aperture and a lever applied?
If I end up in hospital expect a letter from my solicitor.

Ps Why do I buy these things and then forget to use them?

Thanks for that reminder Steve.
I must remember to forget you in my will.

I didn't know I was even in it

If it gets me back in it is easy to forget your age with the good looks and charm you ooze.

Back in.
