Thanks Chuck, I just ordered the tool through our Forum link. I have several Ken-Tools tire tools and am happy with all of them. Don't know what issue the person who left the negative comment was having, I have a Snap-On hood holder that uses the same washer hold system and you can't move the rod without releasing the washer.

Thank you Chuck very much.  I've been searching for that device for a long time.

I don't think there is a bushing involved, could be wrong, if so it will be posted.

When I cleaned the caliber slide pins, I did notice bronze bushings in the caliber castings. To my knowledge they are not replaceable and are there to separate the pins from the caliber castings which can rust. I doubt that these bushings would sustain sufficient wear from brake action to ever warrant replacement. I cleaned the bore of the bushings with a circular bronze wire brush.

I think that if I did not have either one I would look at the hand crank devices used to remove lud nuts.If I had a 3/4" torque
wrench I would go with the stand.

The stand came yesterday, on a Sunday no less. It is very strong, I will test it as to see if I can make it slip as the one negative comment said. The top of the outside pipe is cut at an angle, so the washer drops on one side and locks the internal pipe. I could make one, but for the time and money for materials it isn't a bad deal. I have the 3/4" 600 lb. torque wrench which I used in my heavy equipment repair occupation.

Something like the below, with a piece of angle welded to the top may give better support than the angled washer.

1/2 IR cordless electric impact will do the lug nuts.  If not, get one of the $50 lug nut multipliers off the internet. They work great.

The Wrench Support Stand pictured in an earlier post is from Kentool. They make all kind of tire changing products for heavy equipment. NAPA carries the stand. Product # SPC-32610. Kentoool #32610. Demo video at Ken Tool - A Leader in Automotive Aftermarket Tire Repair Tools - Home. NAPA price $67.00.
I used the stand several times and makes changing a tire a one man job.
