Ok so Ive been having problems with my rear bearing for about 2 weeks now and well last night i replaced the Right rear bearing which was A Major pain in the ass without the tool

. I had to use my dremel to cut the race ring out. So i figure to hell with this im not goin to do the Left side like this so this morning i Called up Bav Auto and Purchased the tool @ $250.00 no discount

(Shown) maybe i can get this out to those who need it for a small rental fee which would be nice...?

yea dude, rental is an amazing idea, maybe everyone at UB can create like a big thread and rent multiple tools

**Dudesky** · 06-10-2006, 07:27 PM

Aw, man . . I told you just get 2 pipe caps and some threaded rod, that's how everyone else does it. That would have cost you about 7 bucks at Home Depot, and you would have been done today

**defkon99** · 06-10-2006, 08:13 PM

oh man i thoughty that was for the bushing tool.

Oh btw> i checked my bushing as well and man that thingh was shredded to pieces! so le olde drill and a hammer to whack the new ones back in worked fine.

**Dudesky** · 06-10-2006, 08:19 PM

That would be a great idea. People could leave a security deposit on the tool they rent and then when it is returned in good shape get their deposit back. We could save thousands by sharing tools.

**defkon99** · 06-11-2006, 09:44 AM

seriously Lets do this, and like UB can get a cut as well. Man i think it could be HUGE all over the U.S!, you know how many people would pay to rent a tools like this.
