Thread: Regulation lever pusher tool

    Regulation lever pusher tool

    When working close up I don’t have good 3-D vision. I’ve had a difficult time getting an appropriate screwdriver blade positioned correctly against the regulator lever to push it. One time, I went down into the balance wheel and I will only say it did not turn out well.

    I ground a notch into the tip of this inexpensive 2 mm screwdriver blade. De-burred it afterwards, wiped and rinsed it and then wiped it again to hopefully eliminate all small bits of junk. It worked just as I hoped it would.

    Gently rest the short part of the blade tip on the top surface of regulator lever. The longer side of the tip is the pusher.

    Nice idea that but if you use a spring bar remover tool it's already done for us

    I will try that. The approach to the lever’s edge will be different but it could work well. Thanks!
