I agree that carefully done, your hollow axle method would work. But I don't
think it will be accurate enough for the specific application of resolving an error this small (
if it was parallel to start).
I'm all for improvised tools and low cost solutions, and am constantly impressed at how much many non pros on this forum have invested in tools. I've used similar improvised solutions for on the road emergency repairs, but for the specific situation here, feel that the combination of the OPs inexperience and lack of specific tools makes this a case where he's best leaving bad enough alone.
