Anyone got a Knuckle centering SST to rent (1 Viewer)

just so you all know- that tool is quite a math project to get just right. I did it and it was a beatch.
You will need calipers that fit over your knuckle and measure in millimeters too- not easy to find...

1 inch = 25.4 mm

Junk, you got PM.

The large capilpers are easy to find. You may not like the price. Here's one example of inexpensive:

Baloney on them having to be in metric. Measure in inches and multiply by 25.4 to get mm.

I got my 12" caliper on eBay for $40. There are a gazillion cheap calipers on eBay.

Forgot to say you can buy the SST for about $120 from http://toyota.spx.com/

Not worried about the caliper - that end is done.

Yooper - got your PM - greatly appreciate it dude.

yopper- whatever... Have you used the tool? My calipers are in metric already, and I think we all know the inch to metric conversion anyway.

I was talking more about getting the right preload and height set with the tool. Not brain surgery, but not a 5 min deal either.
In my area, large calipers werent easy to find on a weekend.

Yes, I own the tool and I've used it on two separate knuckle jobs now. Very straightforward. The metric conversion was the most complicated math involved. The rest was addition and subtraction.

Whatever yourself You're the one who said you need to have a caliper that reads in millimeters. I assumed this meant you were clueless. Apparently I was right. Have a nice day.

Medusa,

Any chance you still own your centering tool and would you be interested in renting it to some poor bastard in Arizona?
