I'm trying to find out if I can get hold of this tool.



I can barely even find any information on it, and can't find an actual part number as with some of the other tools.

Would anyone have any suggestions aside from possibly a dealer?

Just go to first machine shop, that is easy to make on the lathe.

That's a good idea, I don't have an original to measure/copy though unfortunately.

a lot of machine shops can just put the bearing in for you. Thats what I do for replacement. Easier than buying a tool you will use 3 times at most.

I haven't got the housings off yet (waiting on my balance shaft spanner to arrive), but is it pretty obvious how deep to press the bearings in?

The reason I'd hoped to find the tool was I think it has that shoulder to seat it at the right depth, but if that's not too critical or difficult to do without, that might be worth a shot.

The depth is no problem, just press untill fully seated. But the bearings are very soft, so if you're not dead straight they will be damaged. With the factory tool or similar this is less likely as it supports the bearing from the inside.

This should be the right part number

Thanks Doug, it is. Unfortunately it's NLA...

Looks like I might have some real trouble finding this one.

Personally I just turned a piece of stock down till it was slightly smaller than the inner diameter, with a lip around the edge. Was pretty simple to do.
