Do you have a picture of the tool you made?

The nylon supports the shaft when installing a couple of the bearings to keep everything straight. The drivers are pretty easy to make on a lathe if you have the bushings in front of you to measure off of. I made this so the drivers fit about a 1/3 of the way down the shaft so both ends of the shaft can be located in the block to keep things square. The two outside bearings, front and back, then are located off of the already installed inside bearings.

jamesc master J Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 5,875 communist bloc of new jersey	the lisle tool is most common i have one and it's ok (not great). the dura bond tool is imho superior but pricey. one thing i learned is to not install all the bearings then check the cam fit. put the first two in then check the fit and do it with each one after that, that way you can get a better idea which one might be causing problems if the cam is tight.

I got my isle thru the snap on dealer , It comes in handy for many things, like changing many of the bushings in a 727 .
