i will have a picture of the tool on later in the morning. it is simple to 
construct.  get a rubber thermos plug and a softplug and a bolt . i think it was 
about 5/16 x 2 with nut. i will take a picture .replace the flip lever with a 
bolt with the softplug as the cover(drill a hole in the plug). i really dont 
feel it is a manditory measurement. just dont want too much drag after getting 
lash pattern ok. i have done it that way for years with no problems but 
bought the tool out of couriosity a year ago. usually if you mark the sleeves with 
a punch and count the turns(about 5) on any one of them it will go together 
easy and the same as it came apart(assuming it was ok when you took it apart).i 
put a dab of  petrolium jelly on the orings to prevent "wind up" as you 
tighten them. make sure it turns freely and no "catches" or noises.all i can say is 
its worked for me on several over the years.           regards tim colson
