A leveraging tool for disconnecting a control arm from the remainder of an automotive front wheel drive suspension system. A gas supply line extends into the pod interior from a gas source, and a gas exhaust line extends from the pod interior to remove moisture, particles and excess gas from the pod interior as the pod contains a wafer-filled cassette and rests typically on a SMIF arm before transfer to a processing tool or other destination in the facility. The gating circuitry can be a controlled pass-gate circuit and a data latch, an adjustable threshold comparator, or two controlled latches. The interface controller periodically receives the voltage supply responsive to transmitting sequential requests to a servo firmware of the storage device. The column and the capital together define a passageway wherein the brackets are located.
