8 1/4 axle inspection.

Some of my Cosmic thoughts.

I made my adjuster tools from two half inch Drive sockets that were broken welded them into the end of a piece of pipe that is approximately 36 in Long.
On the other end I used a spindle nut from a Subaru car. 36 mm I believe or 1 7/16 inch that I bought from Advance Auto Parts.
I made two of these tools so that I could have one on each side of the vehicle and then all I had to do was take the torque wrench from side to side instead of removing the tool inserting the tool then removing the tool and inserting it over and over.
I highly recommend that you get a crush sleeve Eliminator. It's a solid piece of round pipe steel that's about half an inch long or something like that. Ratech makes one.
