Does anyone have a used front bearing tool for sale ?

I just realized that we do not have it in Norway and with 5 GMC's it is much needed, yes I do not need you to ship it to Norway but to my forwarder in NJ.
And if possible payment through paypal as it is nearly impossible to get US checks here.

Espen,
Howard offered to sell me his for a good price when I bought the knuckle assemblies from him over a year ago. I didn't have the extra funds then, but I had a boatload of various pullers and friends' tools to borrow so I didn't get it from him. I don't know if he still has it. It's probably a good thing I didn't get it because I'm sure I would have broken it trying to get one of the bearings off of the hub, just like I broke the good quality 3-jaw puller that I borrowed from a friend to do that job. That bearing was on there for 40 years and I ended up having to cut it to pieces to remove it. The bearings on the other hubs came off very easily using the same type of 3-jaw puller, no stress and no cussing involved. The setup pictured in the manual looks a lot less formidable than what I was using, so that one bearing must have been telling me to leave it alone and just run with the rotor the way it was. Of course, I was stubborn and wanted to install my newer, thicker rotor on the hub, and it cost me a $135 bearing to prove my point Embarassed
If you can get in contact with Howard Nielsen, ask him if he still has it and wants to sell it as he upgraded to the newer front end.

Thanks Terry, I will see if I can find him Smile

Rob I was hoping to find a used set to save some $ as it will not see much use here, I have still not decided if I should let others in on it and send it around when needed or I should have it in my shop and offer the bearing change to the other four guys, we will see.

Oh not sure I did get it, I got one mail, but I do not think it was from you, and I did answer it, could you please resend it to bimet@online.no ?
I have been running around myself the last couple of days, just way to busy so I might be making a fool of myself here, sorry for that, but I will go through my shop pc tomorrow and see if it is there.
