Just took apart my tokhiem 36b. The sight glasses are held in with a large nut like the wayne 60. My wayne 60 wrench will not fit and I need to get one soon or Ill have the skins ready to paint and the frame wont be ready.Was going to wait and do as a winter project, but bow season is almost here and Ive been seeing a nice 12 pointer, so want to have it ready to paint in next couple of weeks so i can devote plenty of time to that buck. do they make a specail wrench that one of you sell? thanks Mike

Mike:

Forget the special wrench - try a strap wrench and plenty of WD-40 (or equivalent). The strap wrench will fit everything else you might come up against and won't mar anything. If you can't get it apart with the strap - add more rust buster juice and try again the next day. Sooner or later - it'll come apart.

Later . . .
