Tiny is dead on the money. I have the tool but it gave me a fit trying to use it. I have it on loan now and hope it'll do the job but its stilla nickel short of a dollar.

That being said, a fellow bolter advised me to try use a rubber "O" ring to help get it tight and to keep the ferrule from rubbing the paint off behind the door handle. I used a rubber O ring both on the outside and one on the inside and still have a problem getting it tight enough with the "todays tool".

I feel sure someone could make a tapered type rod to push,pull or in some way flare/tighten the ferrule like it came from the factory. I wish I had machinery and know how to at least try! It would make the job so much easier, tighter and clean looking.

Anyone out there to take the challenge smile

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
