CV Joint "Special Tool"

I debated awhile about how to torque my CV joint bolts by myself. I came up with this device. 1/4-inch AL plate, 7/8-inch hole saw.



With the oversized holes you can put it on/off the lug bolts without looking from under the car after you have the bolt in question indexed where you can get your wrench on it.

That's a nice one, I've used a crowbar in the past (the hook will hang on one of the studs) or Porsche special tool "my wife".

That's weird, my ex also used to call me a special tool. But that was usually after I did some bonehead thing...
