This tool is for the timing covers on the FJ Holden grey motors. They do'nt have dowels to centralise the timing cover seal on the Harmonic Balancer (crankshaft pulley) so if a new seal is fitted without using this tool there is a 99% chance that the seal will leak. The bolts that secure the timing cover to the engine are loosened, the tool is slipped onto the crankshaft to centralise the seal and then the bolts are re-tightened.

This is a genuine Litchfield tool made for "Holden, Part No 4A11" which is stamped onto it. This is probably one of the handiest Holden Special Tools. For if you have ever replaced a universal joint, you'll know how awkward it is to remove the cups without damaging them. This tool holds the cups and saves you hitting your fingers or knuckles and also saves the universal joint from destruction.

In the pictures the kit is in its original wooden box which is quote rare and complete with the half moon key, the washer and nut, string pulley, mandril and pinion dummy shaft. The tool kit is mandatory when rebuilding the early diff, as it correctly sets all the alignment and bearing preload required for trouble free motoring.

That is one great looking little "truck". Nice chrome grill. First time I've heard of it. You've done a great job presenting it. 5*. Take a look at my 69 Monaco convertible when you get a minute. Please leave a comment & a rating. Laurence
