I will be replacing the "eared" knockoffs on my BJ8.
This mainly due to the cumulative damage to the ears caused by the removal
and replacement of the knockoffs. A PO provided a copper-headed hammer for
this purpose, but I'm not pleased with the peening that has resulted.
I see that copper headed and lead headed hammers are available as well as a
propellor-style wooden knockoff wrench and a metal offset wrench with a long
handle. Perhaps there are other tools available for the R/R
of the knockoffs?
What has your experience been? What causes the least damage while ensuring
fully-tightened knockoffs?
Are either of the two types of wrenches awkward to use, depending on the
orientation of the ears?
Thanks in advance.
Robert.
