"WITHOUT special service tools, many of today's commonplace service operations would not be practical to perform economically in most dealer service shops. Such tools are of low cost practical designs that allow a semi-skilled mechanic to accurately duplicate original manufacturing and assembly methods. These tools are developed in co-operation with the vehicle manufacturer's design and service engineers as an important aid for the dealer who must render dependable service for every unit of the car or truck. Thus, special service tools help .the dealer's shop turn out first quality service work at a fair price to his customers and earn the shop a satisfactory profit as well. Such special tools are usually provided by the dealership to supplement each mechanic's personal hand tools. These tools are effectively used by car dealers-fleet owners-independent service shops-mechanics-parts jobbers and
even some car or truck owners."
I have two of many special shop tools produced for Chrysler Motors by the Miller Manufacturing Company of the long-deceased Detroit, Michigan. I received my second tool today! It is gauge C-853!
Seen on the right, it gauges the positioning of the spring for the proper return of the clutch pedal. My pedal has been misbehaving for about 15 years. This gauge will put it BACK in line. :)
