It fit quite nicely onto the spanner socket.  I used a cheap $20  6” digital caliper from HF.  I’m not making parts for the Space Shuttle.

Then cut your inner dimension (outside diameter of spanner socket).  The cheap little circle cutter produced a cool littler chamfer (about 45°) on the outside of the bushing which made it fit really, really nice in the hub.  The inside cut was mor...

You can use wood to make the bushing but I would avoid plywood because the little splinters could get up in the hub and cause problems.  I chose to use this cutting board made of  nylon like plastic.

Here it is chucked into the drill.  The packaging has no listed specifications of the tool so I can not verify maximum recommended RPM.  Just make sure that the cutters are spaced as close as possible to exact to minimize eccentric movement.  You can...

This spanner socket will start to slip off of the locking nut once you pass 100 ft lbs or so of torque.  I even had someone else handling the torque wrench while I used both hands to hold the socket onto the nut.  The torque action kept causing the s...
