Tailpipe expanders are what I've used also. Buyers using for auto work aren't so happy with them, but less tightening is needed to keep position in bore. I made dedicated extension, T-handle and socket to operate mine. Also worth the time to replace 2 o-rings holding segments together with extension springs.
