8-1/4 bearing pre load tool

I'm upgrading my 8 1/4 right now. A FABO member told me what to do. I made 2 of them from 36MM Subaru axle? nuts from auto parts store, 32" 1'2"pipe and 1/2" socket adaptors. Weld together and they work great. If I remember, the nuts were $9.50 a piece, I had the other stuff laying around.
