I need to borrow or buy a carrier bearing adjustment tool ASAP for my Chrysler 8.25. Anybody near Georgetown KY or Lexington Hollar at me please! Its the one with the axle nut welded to a pole that you stick through the axle tube.

Just get a long piece of pipe alittle bigger than the inside of the adjuster. Then grind till it fits.

Ill look around the shop and see if I have anything that size laying around, I think all I have is an old tie rod and some 1.75 x 0.125 cage tubing.

Great Idea CABJEEPSTER, I ended up cutting a piece of my old NP231 main drive shaft off that was a little bigger in diameter than what I needed then I ground it down to the right size, then I welded it to an old tie rod I had laying around and then welded a nut onto the end of it. I'll try it out tomorrow. Thanks! And Dave thanks for offering to help a brutha out!

I just used 2 front hub nuts. No grinding needed.

Yeah I now that's the easy way but all of my axle nuts are froze up obols axles I hotel with map gas and still broke my vice trying to get them off so I had to improvise and make one
