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.

This looks interesting Rich. How does it fit through the targa latch cup hole when its so long? Can you post a photo of how it works to unlock the latch?
