Got another tool today I've been lusting for for years, but never could justify. Today I needed it. The various shade tree mechanic tricks I heard for getting the distance pieces on the stub axles were not working.

Off to Harbor Fright and got one of these:

Went to a metal fabricating place and found a piece of pipe the right diameter, and then ground out the inside of an old distance piece to enlarge it and make it slide easily over the stub axle. Used this between the pipe and the new piece. Pumped the jack and the piece slid on like a hot knife in butter. SWEET!

That's going to be one of my next investments as well. I've got a bunch of bushings to replace on various vehicles.
