1-5/16" 3/4 drive socket as driver and 2" Lennox hole-saw with teeth ground off. Perfect driver and support to remove front radius arm bushings.

Had to grind a couple of carridge bolts to get under the tiny lip of outer hub seal ring.

Not having the Factory tool to press the inner hub bearing to its nominal position prior to measuring and adjusting hub end-play, I made a pair of distance shims out of washers, but I have to grind to OD. Hence, the small self-centering tool to hold the washer while I try to make it smaller but still round.

Here is the culprit with about 10-12 tons of pressure and no movement in sight. I decided to give the "floor bracket" press plate a slight rap with a punch; broke loose immediately. Did the same thing with the other radius arm, same result. Just a medium whack is all I needed.

Installing new pinion valve seals in like putting socks on a rooster! Apparently, Jag mechanics have a tool that expands the seals and then another one to shrink them back to size. Piece of chocolate tube and some lube and those mechanics got 'nuthin on me.

So far, I have scraped the old undercoating out of 3 wheel wells. Not a pleasant job if you are 6'3" and have a bad back. I made scapers out of 1/8" plexiglass and put a bevel on the end. Don't use the bullet-proof stuff, too soft. Plexiglass is much harder, but will not cut through good paint-they'll hold an edge a long time.

Forgot to explain the other items in last picture. The tube with bolt through it is what I used to install a new "olive" in the pinion housing. This was after I ruined one. The other tool is just a drill bit J-B welded into a piece of aluminum to use when centering the rack. In this picture is a piece of 3/8" UHMW with a hole, relief slot, and tightening screw I used to turn the pinion when the rack is put together. I can't turn the pinion with my fingers.
