LIFTER COLLAPSER
I manufactured a tool to collapse lifters including Toyota, Volvo and other bucket lifters. I made a frame for a bottle jack out of 1 1/2” and 2” square tube. I used some valve springs to raise the base when the pressure is released. I manufactured a slip on plunger presser to get down inside the bucket lifters. The tool can be removed from it’s vertical position and placed horizontal to face the bleed holes down in cases where it is required. It slides into a piece of 2” square tube that is welded to his 20 ton Press.
