Steve,

Give JimK a call, that may be one of the tools that lets out on loan.

Frank,
I don't need it, a GMCER in OR does. He might have gotten a loaner from
Jim K. I'm waiting to hear back. Thanks for the offer though.
Steve

Don't forget the spacer has to be machined to make it work. Just did mine and Nick at applied very helpful.

Steve,
When we handle as many calls a we do, there will be calls we can not return if there is a mistake or e mail that does not get read that day.
I take responsibility for that, our well published Toll line that we pay over couple thousand a month to keep.
I know I will call few times when I'm trying to get things done.
Yes, we do rent these greasers and we do give verbal instuctions.

FWIW, here are visual instructions that I created on how to use the tool.
