received tool J 44226-3A as part of the essential tool package. This
tool may need modification to the welded area between the socket portion of
the tool and the flat bar. Excessive weld in this area may cause the tool
to not fully engage the bolt on the flywheel. If the tool does not fully engage
the bolt, it could slip off during use, causing improper torque.
Recommended Action
Inspect tool J 44226-3A in the area shown below. Remove excessive
weld using a grinder. If a grinder is not available, or you cannot adequately
remove the excess weld, call Kent-Moore Tools at 1-800-GM TOOLS for a free
replacement.
