I'd like to know if anyone has thought of a clever way to properly adjust the length of the control rod (between SLS control valve lever and the rear sway bar). The FSM calls for some special tools I'm not particularly inclined to purchase.

I've got an '87 wagon and the original rod ends rotted out. Purchasing just the new ends was far cheaper than getting an entire new rod.
