[Collins] removing collins vernier

[Joe Eide]

John,

You need the same driver as for the 4:1 knob or the KC dial.  It is a 
Bristol .060 6 flute (Xcelite 99-62).
Don't lose these screws as they are not commonly available any more.  
(assuming they are original)

I can't seem to determine and find the correct spline tool to take the pinon off of the PTO shaft. I know I had the correct tool in the past, but can't seem to be able to find it today. The manual for the vernier seems to refer to a #4 spline tool but I am not able to identify the correct tool IF I HAVE IT and that is the correct tool for removing the set screws holding the pinon .to the PTO shaft.
