Threads differ on UC rods
I have made a new inner shaft with the correct internal thread for Universal Carrier spring rods. The outer tube and nut were reused.
It works a treat, although the pitch of the thread means it takes a lot of turns to pull the rod through the opposite cup.
I ground an old spanner to fit the flats on the rod to ensure the tool is wound all the way onto the spring rod end.
The only thing it won't do of course is pull a rod through a seized/rusted on spring ball!
