Perry,
The part number for the service tool is 18G708 per BMC Service Tool
Catalog published by Churchill in 1965. It looks like a short socket
(with the ears) mounted on a tube with a tommy bar on the other end.
Rob Nortier sells one he manufactures on ebay, but I don't see one
listed now (and don't remember his seller's name).
Cheers,
Bob Haskell
