Adapter structure for and method of securing a draw bar actuated tool to a spindle having an actuating draw bar extending therethrough. The structure includes coupling members for securing the adapter structure to the actuating draw bar and to the tool draw bar and structure permitting relative rotation between the tool and spindle with the actuating draw bar and tool draw bar securely engaged. In one embodiment, the adapter structure is entirely separate from the tool while in another embodiment, the adapter structure includes a modified tool and tool draw bar. The method of the invention includes the steps of securing a tool including a tool draw bar therein to an actuating draw bar extending through a spindle, rotating the tool and tool draw bar with respect to the actuating draw bar to align securing means on the spindle and tool without relative axial movement between the draw bars and subsequently securing the tool to the spindle.
