You're welcome. So the tool served its purpose last night. But just to give you guys an idea, as strong as the hardened steel pins I put in are, I still manage to break one with the torque wrench at only 120 psi, I then had to keep going because the locking washer wasn't lining up its holes with the locking nut so I was able to do it with only three pins left on the tool but barely, I was able to torque it up to 150 psi. I finally changed the boots on the CV joints. Once the CV axle is out is actually not hard to do.
