[s-cars] urS6 Crank Tool, you can use the 5K tool!

[David Toppin]

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by snub mount, but I took my crank bolt out
using it, and it was tight!  Why would they make that tool hold the crank
180 degrees out?  Helps them sell valves maybe?

I just cranked it around til the end of the tool rested on the cross tube.
Has to use a johnson bar to help my puny little 1/2" drive Snap On breaker
bar, which I thought was going to break itself, to get it loose.

Actually, the official tool (3256) doesn't hold piston #1 at TDC either,
its 180 degrees out. Did you actually confirm that the 5K tool works? It
has a little slot in it that engages the snub mount right?

Thanks,

Sean
