Yesterday I finished removing my old power steering rack.  One of the
"hassles" was spreading the coupler from the steering U-Joint to the
splined shaft on the rack.  Nothing I had available seemed to do the
trick until ran across a RAILROAD SPIKE.  Yep ... the railroad spike was
the perfect tool.  Just the right amount of bevel, right length to hold
onto, and included the head for hitting with a hammer.

If you don't have a railroad spike ... pick one up the next time you see
one.  One day you'll need it.
