Had a silly idea and don't know but I will throw it out there. We will start a chain letter with the wrenches.
I need the inside wrench to compleat my set first thing so I will buy it from someone. Hint Hint.
I will pay to have it shipped to a U.S. SteelSoldier in lower 48 and only to a address not a PO box. (just in case the member does not return the Drones will be sent out.
I will post who I shipped it to and the date. From there after arrival of said wrenches the address E will post that the package has arrived and he has one week to get the job done and reshipped. Please do not ask for them if you do not have the time or willing to do the job within that week.
I believe we can ship useing post office at flat rate of $10.00.
The person that the wrenches are shipped to has to pay the shipping to the next person.
The only thing I ask is if I need the wrenches back to do a job I can have cut's in the line and I will ship it out when I'm done.
You do not have to post on the board the address of the the person you shipped to but I would like you to keep it written down incase.
I think if you get your compressor threads clean and the never-seez put on it will help later if something needs replacing or tighten back up. Don't wait till your on the side of the road with the outer pulley rusted on good. I believe if you do this maintance you might not even need the wrenches to replace or tighten the belt if the belt gives you trouble later on.
I know most of you can afford to buy the wrenches so like I said just throwing it out there and send Waldo on a mission.

I like the idea but experience tells me loaning tools on the honor system usually leads to my tools disappearing forever. Maybe that's just my luck.

Yeah the outer pulley is horrible. When I did my belts I had to take the entire assembly off the compressor and heat it with a torch and use a 4 foot pipe to break it free. I cleaned that baby up good and used a lot of anti seize

If someone wants to start this and pay to have it shipped from me to them, ill donate a pair of compressor wrenches. Main and backer they are a little longer handle wise for extra leverage.

Chris I need the buy the back wrench. Then I was going to start Waldo and the wrenches on there way around the US and I was going to pay the shipping to the first Soldier. So botton line I loose out on the deal but just trying help outhers as I enjoy doing.
If mann68 wants to do it and has the wrenches I will send him ten bucks to ship it to someone. I would have to pay ten bucks no matter what. PM me your address mann68 and I will send you 10 bucks to get Waldo & wrenches shipped to someone.

I just did the compressor on a truck that is getting sold and that is why I posted about the maintance that needs to be done on the nasty thing and the Idea about shipping the wrenches. I use a adjustable wrench on the back side this time and just wanted to buy the back side for next time I need it or loan it out.

The short answer is YES! Can some one take one of those wrenches, lay it on a piece of paper, run a pen around it (to get the outline), and pop the paper in the mail for me? If so, please send me a PM and I'll provide my address.

It would take me a few minutes to make a solid model and could put it and a drawing here to share with folks.

Is this wrench just a flat part that can be laser cut? If so send me some drawings and I can make some.

If it's flat I have a scanner that will scan flat part up to 1/2" thick 4'x8'. It allows me to reverse engineer stuff. But if someone can provide a 2D cad file of them I can make them from that too.

Along those lines, it could be as simple as someone laying it on copier scanner bed (carefully) making a copy or scanning to file and posting it here.
