This fixture is used for assembling and disassembling rebuildable SY accumulator spheres. This is not for later SZ welded, disposable spheres. There are 3/8" holes drilled in the base to allow the tool to be permanently bolted to a stand or bench. Access to the bottom will be necessary to install and remove the large sphere retaining nut. It can also be held in a vise. Custom machined nuts for the top and bottom threads are included to keep the spheres securely in place while removing or installing the clamping ring.
The hex insert and the wrench are made from tool steel and are appropriately hardened to resist deformation under load.
The large sphere socket has clips on the bottom that rotate into place with a satisfying detent to securely capture the clamping ring. This prevents the pins from slipping and fouling the pin holes.
For disassembling or assembling the earlier "large dome", taller spheres, a spacer, an additional silver knob with a longer thread and longer clamping ring detents are included - allowing for .400" additional height.
This tool is zinc and nickel plated. All hardware is included.
