So I messaged the creator of the spring tool this morning and he told me is was working as intended.  Bending before any harm can come of the important parts.  He told me to bend it back and try again.   I told him ok.  My arbor press wasn’t enough so I smacked it with a hammer until it was flat again.  I was able to mount up the second spring ok.  I moved on to another cylinder however and was able to remove items just fine.  The fault in this tool is trying to line up the valve stem to get the new set of locks on it.  It is horrible to tighten and loosen the spring a dozen times just trying to center something that should be mostly non-interactive.  I never could after 2-3 hours get a third cylinder to line up enough to put the locks in. So I am glad I did not cancel the order of the other tool after getting that one lucky strike this morning.  I will report the failing to the tool maker whom I assume will claim it is all my fault somehow and his tool is perfect and get no recompensation.

Other than that, my new UDP came in today.  After feeling the box I became curious and looked further into it and yes, it is definitely heavier than the stock pulley.  This will be overcome and then some by the reduction in rotational mass the crank will have to spin.  So while it is a heavier pulley it will gain in the long run.  Not to mention it has nice high walls so the belts can’t try to jump on me.

Old Pulley:

And here is the new one:

You can also see how much smaller the new one is.

The new spring tool should be here on friday.  I hope to have this mess corrected by then.
