... some times you get lucky, and find exactly the tool right under your nose!

I have these cylinders for rolling and bending, with little grooves... one is an exact fit for the axles!

Trick is to cut just a bit long so they will fit into holes I drilled into plates.

The bend over the leaf springs easier with the square tipped pliers.
