[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 148272, member: 3287"] The slide hammer,,, made on board when I became chief of a riding Gang of Four Philippine fitter/motormen on the three large container ships plying the East coast USA Golfport and Willington and loading in Honduras, the Generators where in such a state of disrepair that I was asked if I would take on the task as I was always given the worst ships as the office said I always seemed so enthusiastic about my ships I was serving on. these ships had six generators apiece all the other ships had four. After four years we had gone through and overhauled each generator renewing five crankshafts they gave me a makers man from Denmark for the first one (a five cylinder) two fives and four nine cylinders with a combined power output of 3.5 MW and main engine was a B & W eight cylinder cathedral engine 103 max RPM and a little more than 20k horse power. The slide as made from zinc billet initial use was to pull out fuel injectors with an M10 male thread in the end then made an array of attachments all starting with an M10 nut then all sizes of imperial & metric thread sizes the lower one being used to remove rocker assemblies with the chain king link to fit into tappet hole. 5/16" BSF long stud to remove oil pump sleeve but remember to remove the G 50 plate as I buggered the flange on the end and ruined a relatively new sleeve now it sumps in a week as I fitted a miss matched pump assembly. That was on my last strip down (7th in 57 years) just to replace main bearings, steel caged rollers as found them on my magnetic sump plug so went and sourced bronze caged ones old style.
