Boots,

Peter's lead is a good one, but there is another: http://www.exmodelengines.com/     

I just checked exmodels and they have the reset tools for .010, and .049, but not the .020.  I recently needed the .020 reset tool and was able to get it from coxengines.ca

I had a friend who re-set his ball joint. Put the tool in and lightly tapped as he slowly turned the tool around and around. Put the engine together and right after it started the top broke out of the piston because he work hardened it.

Set it up and give it a good shot with a hammer ONE TIME, then turn it 180 degrees and give it a smaller shot to close the cup where the slot in the tool was. If the ball joint feels stiff don't worry, it will loosen up as soon as the engine starts.

My method has been more like light tap - no difference. Light tap - no difference. Light tap - no difference. WHAP - a little snug. Somehow it’s worked out.

Actually I’m agreeing with Motorman.
