Park FT-4 instructions and rim puller ID

I recently purchased two of these Park FT-4 and wondering if anyone has the instructions for use.



Unfortunately I didn't win this rim puller but was curious what the model number might have been to satisfy my interest.

While I'm at it the tool on the left is a BB facer BFS-1 without the cutter but I could not figure out what the one on the right was. Some kind of die holder?

The one on the right is for cutting down/facing crown races.

The one you call "rim puller" is a frame stay straightener.

Thanks for the IDs. The stay straightener makes sense now. Somehow I don't see a use case for that for me.

Have you seen this drawing and write-up?




This gauge will allow you to check the fork blade alignment side-to-side. It will also allow you to check the front-to-back alignment of the two blades relative to each other. As far as I know it will not help you to figure out whether both blades have been pushed back as in a front end collision.

If you are interested in selling one of them I'm interested in buying.
