James did a great job of describing a crank scraper. This is the website
of the people who are making mine. www.crank-scrapers.com It has some
photos and graphics that show the concept.

Daryl,
Please pardon my ignorance but what in heaven's name is a crank
scraper????? I'm trying to pkcture such a device and am failing
miserably. Thanks in advance.
