I would like to see some pics of the tool with the spindle/BJ setup in a hydraulic press.

I considered making a (knock in BJ) punch with a long 2" dia. pipe with a cutout and determined it was not possible to get a straight shot due to the bend in the spindle.
The JTC Tool Works; there is a very good thread on it by one of our Members and a nice pictorial in the Axle section of the DIY.

It does indeed have a cut out and that is what allows it to go on straight.
