Scrolled back in your pictures and it appears it is the same kit for the gaskets but not the shaft seal.
I'd love to see the Ford tool and exactly how it works. Got pics to share? I can't find anything even on Youtube showing how it works.Gave up on trying to get the key out...... found the ford tool on Ebay for $20..... It still amazes me how the right tool makes the job so much easier...Pretty sure this will go in the NEVER used again tool drawer..... LOL

There should be a small gap behind the key inside the recess of the compressor. Slide the tool down with the slot over the key, and then you twist the tool 90-180 degrees or so so the slot is no longer aligned. Only works if there is a gap but you don’t need much.Still don't see how it pulls the key out. Nothing above has addressed how it gets behind the key to "pull" it or how it does it without being behind it.
What do you clean up the wick with? I do not want to damage it as I am assuming it is unobtainable ... Mine is pretty dirty and was thinking about some brake cleaner then letting it dry.....
Ok. Well that makes sense on the gap. Thanks Mike.There should be a small gap behind the key inside the recess of the compressor.

Behind the key there, there is a gap.
