For those that like to do it yourself, you can purchase this tool separately from the filling station without buying the entire expensive installation kit. It runs $14.50 Part Number AF-656 Does anyone have a line on a backlash adjusting wrench?

Carrier wrenches too are DYI. I know Patrick’s sold them years ago when I did mine.
Just two 5/16” pegs 2-7/16” apart. I’ve seen them in several forms. Mine are shaped like the pinion tool, but flat. Also fits inside a piece of steel pipe in the event extra leverage is needed.

Made the pinion spacer tool from the template supplied by DEVE.
Bashlash adjustment ...........very large 90 degree long nose pliers works well. Or 1/4” flat steel with studs placed at the proper spacing to engage the adjusters.
