[NoVa-Corvairs] need a new axle shaft and flange with bearing

[FrankDuVal]

Down south?


Are you speaking of the Blue Chip machine tool that our CVCC member 
Russell Davis designed?


Greatest tool made. Doug Jones bought one too. I have the CVCC loaner 
available also.


I have yet to damage an early bearing during removal with this tool. 
They all come off.
