Should this tool work on my ford 1997 E 150 van? I tried it on both the L &amp; H ports. The tool will loosen the Schr. valve ,but will not lift it out

You may need to "smash" the part that locks onto the Schrader valve. It is kind of a cheap made tool. Works OK if you only need one occasionally

Matthew, I used it on a Ford Transit connect, which had a 1/4 inch shifter. The screw hardly held on with just general use. I had to place a thin, rubber sleeve over the shaft so that the screws would hold on. In a vehicle like your you would have to replace the screws or find something that would really hold the screws in place.

Yes it should work but ensure you pressurize the cylinder you're working on with air to avoid dropping the valves into the cylinder once the spring keepers are out. If all you're doing is seals I would also get the valve stem seal puller pliers, they would work a lot better than the picks I used. A magnet for fishing the spring keeper half's out helps too. If you're doing valves too you will have to pull the head from the block / car regardless. The Neiko spring compressor will work in this situation as well.

NO, a VCDS will do it, but not this tool. Not a very useful tool for a VW and the DSG transmission fluid change. I made my own adapter with a spare plug and hose and filled what I took out, which worked just fine.

I used this tool to change the plugs on a 2003 expedition that is notorious for challenging plug locations. I was told the job would take 8 hours and cost well over $800. I had her changed and running like a champ in 2 hours and this tool was a big help. It has a nice universal joint and holds the plugs perfectly. You will obviously also need a 3/8ths drive wratchet, a variety of extensinos, and a torque wrench (expecially if you have an aluminum head) to torque the plugs when installing. Good luck and yes I recommend you buy it. I

Try googleing your make model year to find out your valve size and then buy the propersize tool hope this helps

Schraeder was fine. It would not lock onto a Presta valve - even with the adapter. I returned it.

I believe that the VAG will work on your car. I used it to find an airbag problem and several MIL light problems on a 2003 Beetle 1.8T. I think this tool is an excellent value.

I've looked closely at the one I have and if it V's out it's only a little. It's so little, that I'm not even sure if I'm talking myself into seeing it or not LOL. The city just put in a new water meter with new valve and this tool turns it just fine. Not sure on how it would have worked on my old meter which was at least 30 years old. Hope this helps a little.

Hard to say. I don't know if you are using it correctly. You may need to contact the Mfr. I have the same tool and works fine. However, my local dealer showed me how to use theirs before my purchase.

I don't know, I haven't used it yet. I lent it to a neighbor who had a problem on his mustang. The first thing he wanted to do is check the scrader valves to make sure they were tight. I think it will work on any of those two valves. All it does is grab the valve and either screw it in or out.

I worked perfectly on my xlt, my f-150, and my buddy's sport trac. I believe it works for most if not all Ford trucks!

I used mine for a Wrench Force pedestal pump, and it worked like a darned charm. gave the pump a whole new life. I hope you find something that works for your pump

Yes and no. The remover will do fine because that just works by hitting it with a hammer. The installer I've ne had work with a hammer tho and dual springs may be a bit much to compress by just pushing. If you are strong enough to compress double valve springs then both will work though.

Jade, The problem I see here would 100% depend witch way your valve stems faces, if its straight up and down between the spokes this most likely won't work, as you must keep this gauge perfectly straight when applying it to the valve (you must come straight in with this gauge other than that its perfect)...I had to purchase a second one as I had this problem with mine, so I purchased a second one...Tekton 5941...that has an angled head $7.97 shipped, it works excellent...Rich

No. This tool only checks leakage of cylinders with supplied shop air. I don't think there is such a tool that pressurizes a cylinder to change valve springs.

if your Saturn has the same size plug it might, i do believe this tool was originally designed for the the ford aluminum head, you might try to search "you tube" under Saturn vue as i did with my f150, i found several instructional videos on "you tube" that were very helpful and led me to the purchase of this tool, which worked VERY well for me.
