Can spirolocks be reused after removal?
If no, are all .927 pin spirolocks alike?

Yes. Just make certain that they are not beveled or peened over.No, there are different thicknesses. ------------------

They are a pain to remove, even with the right tool. Like alex said if you don't F'em up you can reuse them. Get the tool though.  SteveW

You can buy one from Powerhouse Products in Memphis. Not cheap at $89. You can also but different heads for it to work with the different sizes.http://www.powerhouseproducts.com/store/merchant.mv?S creen=PROD&Store_Code=PH&Product_Code=POW351091&Category_Code=PISTON and:
