Custom Made Tool for Pre loading and Adjusting Dodge RAM Differential Carrier Bearings

I will save you the comment on why welding on top of a Parts Washer: It is EMPTY. I bought this parts washer ten years ago, it was very easy back then to find solvent at any Auto Parts Store, but as the EPA rules become stricter, it is harder and harder to buy solvent, so I use it as a Workbench.
So...……...As you can imagine, if your parts washer has solvent in it DON'T weld on top of it as it will most likely blow up on you, pure common sense!.
We were in the middle of filming the video titled: " How to diagnose and repair Rear Axle noise on Dodge RAM pick-up trucks".
There is a tool required to Adjust and Pre-load the Differential carrier Bearings on 1500 Dodge RAM Trucks.
We called the local tool supplier, and we were told that it would take 2 to 3 days to get that tool.
Well, since patience is not a virtue I have, not to mention that I needed to get this job done I decided to take a trip to the local hardware store and find supplies that would enable me to make my own tool.
Thankfully after looking around, I found the perfect supplies to make this special tool.
I am confident that there will be more people that will need a tool like this one and if they don't want to spend $80.00 to $100.00 for a tool that may only be used once, this video shows how it can be made with supplies under $20.00. Not to mention having the pride of knowing that you made it.
During the years I have had the need to make several tools and I enjoy the process.
