ri702bill 8,350 #2 Posted November 4, 2021 (edited) Pete: Nice to see that the fragile corkscrew tip is replacable. One question - where does the Lucas green grease go in this one??? Bill Edited November 4, 2021 by ri702bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,639 #3 Posted November 4, 2021 @ri702bill that's easy , use it on the screw on replacement tip threads , keep it greasy , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kenneth R Cluley 527 #4 Posted November 4, 2021 Those are actually made for rope style/graphite packing and "plastic" seals in valves and cylinders. That is unique use for that. Thanks for tip. Pulled many a packing and seal with them in factory where i was maintenance mechanic on injection molding machines. I also drill small hole and just use screw into housing and pull out seal. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
