Yeah, I've used a screwdriver or a drift pin or two many times on other vehicles, but there was some binding on the threads and I didn't want to screw up the holes. Also, as MarkG said - the tool is very useful for making certain the bearings/races are properly seated on installation of new ones - particularly if you don't have the other gee whiz whompin' tool to seat them with.

But maybe you know a way to get leverage on the upper A-arm nuts without taking out the steering column?? Between the steering column and the A/C compressor getting in the way, I don't know whether to punt or pass at the moment. The 1/2" drive short socket is too short, the deep socket is too long and using a short extension on the short socket is too long as well. Maybe I can try a 3/8" drive deep socket with a T-flex handle. Sure hate to start grinding down a socket. No wonder the Japanese lost WWII.
