I never made one, bought one once upon a time.  Borrowed before that.

Did I have a link to someone's homemade tool picture?  Maybe it disappeared.

Basically he took some 2x2 steel stock and notched it for the lug in the 
harmonic balancer, and welded on a piece that stuck out sideways to jam 
against the snubber thing.

Anyone know where that original pictures (or others) might be?

It should be added to the KB, too.....
