And there was me thinking that getting RE special tools PED 2004,2005 and 2025 would be really easy to source after seeing so many videos on YT about all things Enfield. And yet I can't. Save for the wonderful but very far away Hitchcocks (I am in New Zealand) and Sparezo a mere 1/3 of the globe from me I can't find any anywhere else. Crikey I'd even have a go at making what is needed if only for the specs.

Any thoughts team??

As an overseas customer you at least don't have pay UK VAT (sales tax) like we do if you order from H's. I have an ex-pat mate in Napier who ordered a fuel tank from Sparezo and it arrived with no problem. He also told me they can't be bothered to collect NZ import duties on privately ordered items under $800(?)

If you can get hold of a guy called Tim Busby somewhere up in the North Island (he has done a lot of work with REs) he might be able to advise, or even have a set of extractors. Has the sprag clutch made the dreaded bang-crunch noise, or are you just looking to get rid of it before it does?
