We are working on a project to disassemble and relocate 2 English Electric TT Mk. 18 Canberras. Searching for a couple of special tools to assist in removing the wings. Would anyone have access to or know of a possible source for a spar bolt extractor and inserted tool we could borrow?
Part# EA1.88.359 Extractor, Main Plane Pick-up Pins
Part# EA1.88 363 Inserter, Main Plane Pick-up Pins
Any help or reference to sources greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Curt

Are these the Falcon Field Canberra’s?

The wings are so different on the Martin-built WB-57's NASA uses from the E.E. Canberra's, I wonder if they would use the same parts? I reckon you could contact some of the folks in the WB-57 program to find out. There may even be someone who knows where the original tools may be had in the U.S.. There are some WB-57 project folks phone numbers in the following link, good luk!!...

Unfortunately the E.E. Canberra, the B-57, and the NASA WB-57 all use different spar bolts. I don't think the extractor tool is the same for any of them. Only have the tool numbers for the E.E. Canberra. I'll follow up on the phone numbers offered.
Thank you everybody.
