Default Spindle bushing installation tip

Installed NOS spindle bushings tonight on a set of spindles I am restoring. First one I got in about half way with a homemade tool of all-thread, washers, and a few nuts. Had to use my press on the rest, but got it in ok without any damage to the bushing. On the top one, same thing, except I could not get a stable base to use the press. I found that the manzel distributor bushing tool worked great. One of the sleeves on the tool fit right into the bushing and the shoulder kept from mangling the bushing during the press. Thought I would share.
