Could someone tell me, please, what each of the 3 punches and / or dies are used for and in what order during the process of removing and re-installing Capewell releases?

Hi One,

It has been many years since I've used one of those things.  Do you have extra rivets?  If so, just experiment until you know which to use.

If I had it in my hands I could probably show you.

Maybe I'll figure it out. Changing 1 1/2 shot capewells to New Old Stock R3's sometime soon when I get to it.  Just got the rivets from Paragear.  And yes I have the tool kit also NOS.

 

 

Hi Terry,

Before that device came into being, I just would use a centerpunch & a ball peen hammer.  The centerpunch to slightly spread the end of the rivet & then, ever so carefully, use the hammer to finish.  If you take your time, you can make it as good as using that tool.

PS)  Cash that check.
