Thanks for all the responses. I will probably go with the homemade version Daze suggested.Thanks Daze. I figure I only plan on using the tool once to remove the old ones and once to put in the new ones so I will save alot of money doing it myself.Thanks again Daze for the link with the instructions!

MAKE SURE THE WELDS HAVE GOOD PENETRATION. IF YOU ARE A GOOD WELDER THAN BY ALL MEANS, BUT IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF YOUR WELDING SKILLS MAKE SURE YOU FARM IT OUT. I know lots of people have fabricated up the pieces and then taken them to a certified welder to be finished up. welding the all-thread to the square tubing is easy to get good penetration. the base is thicker and holds all the pressure so make sure the bottom piece has really good penetration
