If you have an Auto Zone near by they have the tool you need.

returnzone doesn't rent it either. At least none near me did, as its a very expensive tool.

**ahem**

I may know a certain person that "bought" the tool from Oreilly's, covered the handle with a rag and used a hard rubber mallet when pounding out the bearings and reinstalling, and then returned the tool as "he couldn't figure out how it worked and just took it to a machine shop".

Seriously, who needs to own that tool?

Your "friend" is pretty smart, I'm going to have to tell my "friend" about that. He probably won't be able to figure it out either.

I used to have one and can't find it now.
Think I loaned it to someone and it forgot to come home.
