Most of us do not have the proper drivers for bushings, bearings, and such when working on our tractors.
So we have to improvise with sockets.
When the opportunity lends itself what I do is stick the
socket on an extension upside down and use a brass hammer.
It works quite well and you will not damage your tools.
Sometimes the project your working on will not allow you
to turn the socket upside down so you have to go right side up.
In this case you have to be very careful.
When using a socket right side up make sure the socket your using has a thick enough shoulder and the tip of the socket is not beveled.
Impact sockets work the best they tend to be thick and do not have beveled tips.
But make sure to use a brass hammer.
I know most of us old fogies know this!
But this may help someone that is not harness broken yet! :lol:
