Try to make the tools yourself, or try to do the job without them.
Um, yeah, what he said. Nice first post A&F. Did you also know that when you bought your car, someone made money off that too???

No offense but that isn't how I took his comments at all and feel maybe you took them, as a personal attack? If I thought I had a 200 part that needed to be installed but had to buy a 400 tool to do it, I might puke up my lunch as well. If he doesn't know what the IMS bearing is and what your fix does...then yeah, I can see where he would feel like that.

Again...I didnt read it the same way you are. No one doubts your expertise.

The guy wrote "$20 in metal chunks and a $410 price tag" is pretty insulting and totally devalues the amount of work and engineering that went into making the tools.
