Abstract: A centralizer apparatus for centralizing tubular casing in a borehole having two stop collars for securing to the casing in a spaced apart relationship and two moving collars, one slidably and rotatably coupled to each stop collar, a plurality of bow springs, each bow spring having a first end spaced apart from a second end, each bow spring biased outwardly from the center axis, the first ends connected to the first moving collar, the second ends connected to the second moving collar.

Abstract: A tool and a method for replacing brake system components for automotive vehicles. The tool is designed to rotatably secure a worn or defective treadle valve side by side with a rotatably secured replacement treadle valve. The treadle valves can be rotated and locked into place to present corresponding faces to the user. The tool and method allows the user to measure the orientation or alignment of threaded fittings on the worn or defective treadle valve, remove them and then install them or their replacement fittings on the replacement treadle valve in the same general orientation or alignment as the fittings had on the worn or defective treadle valve. The tool and method ensures that when the replacement treadle valve is reinstalled on the vehicle, the threaded couplings on the ends of lengths of tubing will align with the fittings installed on the replacement treadle valve.
