It would be easier if the metal shaft had been a narrower gauge. I had to grind down the end section so that it would fit through the hole in the outer layer and reach down to engage with the nipple head on the inner part of the rim. I'm still keeping my eye out for a better version.
Can't explain why making my own tools feels so great - it's just real deep, man.
