Caster Correction Bushing press tool to borrow or rent?
Hi,
I bought a used OME medium lift off the classifieds here and it comes with a set of new, unused OME caster correction bushings.
I have access to a big shop press, but the hard part of pressing stuff in or out always seems to be finding something that is just the right size to press in/out with. The things around the shop are usually too big or too small.
Yes, I know, I can make one, butI don't want to put the time or energy into making a press tool. I know it wouldn't be much of a project on a metal lathe, but I have a hassle of a time getting access to a metal shop. Plus it is essentially a one time use tool for me. I hate to put the time and energy in just to use it four times and put it on the shelf forever.
Do you have a slee adapter that you would loan me, rent to me, or sell to me for this job?
On a related thought - wouldn't it be cool if we had a SST collection on the board that we could use. Tools that could be rented for a nominal fee with a credit card number for replacement if not returned. The fee could go toward new SST purchases and board upkeep.
Especially for seldom used tools like this adapter - but even for common tools like the 54mm axle nut tool. Why on earth did I buy one when I only need it every 60K miles or so....
Oh well, I guess the problem is that someone has to administer it and that is time and hassle. Just a random thought.
Anyone that has a slee adapter tool and would consider loan/rent/selling, would you please shoot me a PM or an email.
Thanks,
Charlie
