It probably will be obvious as soon as you explain, but at the moment I can't picture how it works. What is the reason for the slit, and what do the two bolts/nuts/studs do? Is the flat spot at the ~8:00 position significant, or was it there in the scrap piece of metal used to make the tool?for removing the cylinder/muff, avoiding the danger of breaking a fin.
Ah, now it makes sense. Thank you. So, I'm guessing that, rather than being a tapered bolt, the hole for the short bolt is only tapped part way to provide a taper against which the bolt pushes(?).The short bolt expands the disc against the cylinder wall, the longer bolt is just a handle. Once the disc is in place, use the piston to push it up.
