REFLECTOR: Franklin Cylinder Base Wrench

[Hiroo Umeno]

Nothing happened to N21HV other than her time spent in static display has taken its toll.  What happened was we had kids (twin girls) 5years ago and a new (to us) house renovation that turned into a gut and rebuild where we ended up doing much of the work ourselves.

I think you can find copies of the overhaul manual online.  I seem to recall that there is a list of tools and pictures.  It should be in there.

What happened to 21HV?

I am hoping that in the next few months, I am going to be able to start the slow process of bringing N21HV back into the air.  First on the agenda is a detailed engine condition inspection, reconditioning, cleaning.  I anticipate I am going to have to pull the cylinders off to do this and recall reading this magical tool that makes the job remarkably easier.

Now, doing the web searches, there are many vendors selling "Lycoming / Continental cylinder base wrenches" but not Franklin.  That make sense as the install base for the Ly/Con are far greater than Franklin.

Now, the question is, is that just a naming thing? According to Franklin manual, the base nuts are 7/16"-20.  Is that what Ly/Con use?

Thanks in Advance.
