I made a tool to do it out of 3/16 plate. Worked out great. Just made a cross, welded it together and used a crescent wrench to loosen or tighten.

well... i actually got one from the snap-on guy for 20 bucks i had to call him and chase him down in the truck and he ran my credit card on a cell phone so if anyone needs one later on i got it you can use it for 5 dollars an hour:flipoff2:

or posibly the tool that is made for it and costs like 6 dollars, and works a lot easier, especially when the old owner never repacked the bearings.
