Sometimes you need a weird socket, sometimes you need a funny wrench, sometimes you need to make a press for bushings. Made this in an hr with scraps around the shop and some rough drawings on a paper. I eyeballed the shit out of it, it wasn't straight, it broke my broken bottle jack, but it pressed out and in bushings like a $4k tool that wasn't going to show up in an hr.

Have made weird sockets and wrenches, but this was one of the wildest on the spot creations aside from my cv axle driver

What crazy shit have you guys made on the spot?

Was looking for jake oil leaks, #5 seems to be leaking past the rocker. This was also done with the engine cold as was doing a topset, could imagine hot oil would piss past there. (Replaced the rocker later on and still leaking, will need the shaft as it was pretty worn also)

If you like breathing raw diesel straight to the face you can do this test with the egr pipe off
