I had an interesting project come my way to repair a Sheridan. It became such an epic that this thread could be called "The winding road that never ends"

Quandry #1....What the H$!! is it? No model numbers no serial numbers. "Sheridan Products, Racine Wisconsin" But based on the rocker safety and the lack of any markings or serial number it was made somewhere between 1963 and 1970...Even no information can be useful at times.

But that means it's one of the infamous Sheridans with the soldered in valve, lead seals and a whole heap of misery. I've heard about these but I've never had to deal with one.

Quandry #2 How the H$!! do you get it apart?

Well it turns out that you need a double ended tool to first undo an internal cap nut then the other end of the tool screws on a 9/32"- 32tpi thread to use as a puller bar to jerk the valve core free of the two lead seals holding it in.

Well first thing you find out that all the original sellers of this beastie have disappeared.....except of course for Pyramid Air....So unobtainium. Second thing you find out is that because of the 9/32-32 threads no one has actually made this tool as it is supposed to be and published the information. So the purpose of this thread is to get that information published.

Seriously Sheridan 9/32" 32tpi....Was it really necessary to invent your own thread
