We all do it. We sometimes need a tool for a special use. It sometimes makes the difference in how well a job comes out Earlier this year, just for the heck of it, I removed the shaft from the bushings in an old trailing arm. I ended up using heat. I did get it out but what a an awful stinky mess! Yesterday Glenn (gms) stopped by with 2 trailing arms he was cleaning up. He wanted to know if I had a press for the job. With a little scrap metal some machining and welding we came up with a simple tool to remove the shaft. Here are a couple pictures of what we came up with. The tool worked really nice. I think if wanted, this would also work with the trailing arm in the car.
So how about posting some of the special tools you have made. Attached image(s)
