The working blade is 10mm long, 1.5mm wide and 0.65mm thick on a "handle"

5mm wide and 67mm long, same thickness

   I've made similar tools from a pocket screwdriver

   using a grinder. Adjust dimensions to your specifics.

Street sweeper bristles are also good tool blanks. They are made from a soft steel that is easy to grind, and in most municipalities they are available for free.

Many thanks to all who replied, I modified an small screwdriver on     the belt sander which works admirably.

Now all you have to do is find a way to make them stay in the shell     when you insert the radio....

Now all you have to do is find a way to make them stay in

the shell when you insert the radio....



		If the pins are not staying in the shell when reinserted, it

may be due to the fact that the locking tab is not engaging the shell.  When

you use the tool to remove the pin, you are deforming the locking tab into

the pin and it won't grab the shell.  After pin removal it is essential to

pry the tab out, gently, only enough so it will lock in place when reused.
