I think he said he had the RMS tool, but if he doesn't... that'll just be... the icing on the cake...

You know.. I wonder how this doesn't happen to others with TIPs. All this talk about IMS's and such, but no other TIP owners having a seal fail or anything? Am I a one-off??
No shop worth dealing with should hold you responsible for paying for tools needed to fix your car.
