You are asking someone to lend out a tool that is (a) hard to come by, and (b) cost nearly $500.

Another way is to use a 3 inch PVC pipe coupler:

A simpler, if not as elegant, tool can be made from a 3" CPVC pipe coupler (this is a straight sleeve with a small ridge halfway through for the plastic pipes to rest against) found at any Lowes or Home Depot:



Use the original flywheel bolts that are finger tightened until they rest on the center ridge, then use a cross tightening pattern until the correct insertion depth from the flywheel flange is reached.

A around $4, it comes as a ready to use tool for the DIY project that will probably only use it once in their lifetime instead of the $500 OEM tool??
