Burks 7492 Spanner Wrench 3/16 in Pin
The Burks 7492 is the Burks spanner wrench with a 3/16 in pin. It is the tool made for the slotted or pin-drive retaining nuts used inside Burks pumps, and it engages them squarely instead of chewing at them the way an improvised tool does.
Access inside a pump is tight and the nuts are often tight too after years of service. A tool that fits properly lets the load go where it should. Improvised alternatives tend to slip, which risks the part, the surrounding casting and the fitter.
Keep it with the pump spares rather than in the general tool drawer. It is specific to this style of fastener, and the point at which you need it is usually the point at which you have the pump apart and cannot go looking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does it fit other brands of pump?
It fits any nut with matching drive hole size and spacing, so it often does. The pin diameter and centre distance are what decide it, not the badge on the pump.
Q: How should it be looked after?
Keep it dry and check the pins for bending or wear before each use. A bent pin sits unevenly in the drive hole and concentrates the load on one edge, which is how a nut gets damaged.
Q: Should the tool stay with the pump spares?
It is the sensible place for it. You need it precisely when the pump is apart, and a specialist tool that lives in a general tool drawer is a tool that goes missing.
Q: How do I know this is the right size for my pump?
Measure the drive holes in the nut. The pin has to be a close sliding fit - a pin that is undersized works in the hole and rounds it out, which is the damage the tool is meant to prevent.
