Using the wrong tool for the job is often an expensive "cost improvement".
I found that out years ago on my first air-cooled VW rebuild. I saved the
$15 (1970 dollars) price of an expanding arbor tool to remove and replace
the distributor drive at the cost of redoing the rebuild after 30 minutes of
operation. I bought the expanding arbor tool for the second time around.
Then again, perhaps you can fabricate a tool for the cost of some hours work
in your "shop" area. Generally there is more than one way to accomplish a
task. There are always trade-off's in any endeavor.
