Your spot on!!! In training they told us SRT was based on an engineer completing the compressor R and R. I asked if that was in a short hood chassis or test stand.

 

All tools laid out...........ready.........set.........go. Lol. Ok ......best outta three.

 

What could go wrong with all that crap strapped to it.... answer... everything

 

Exactly how Caterpillar does it. Every tool laid out, every specialty tool needed and a brand new machine.

Now add in the real world:

-Its filthy.
-Bolts are rusty.
-Some ###hat didn't put the specialty tool away in the right spot or broke it.
-Its been a year since you last seen that particular model, 3 since you actually performed said task on that model.

 

Uh.... you forgot lots of expletives and a broken foot from kicking when things go wrong

 

That's automatically implied.

 

Or the speciality tool is priced outrageously and you have to make it.

 

Making tools is part of the fun

 

Hey, some of the best tools are home made. But I totally agree some of the pricing on this stuff is rediculous, and garbage too boot. Any idiot can take a socket and weld it to a pogostick and charge 1000's of dollars for it. We have tons of worthless manditory tools that have never been touched and do nothing but collect dust, simply bacause theres a faster way, or they just plain arnt needed.

The MX injector slide hammer is just one of those many tools.

 

Pictures pls.
