Default Wheel bearing tool - anyone got one for sale? Or, setting up a tool loan program

Well, I need to do the rear wheel bearings on my 86 951. The rear wheel bearing tool is quite expensive ($225 at Paragon), and if possible I'd rather not have to buy it just to use once...

So, does anyone have the tool for sale, used?

Or, would anyone be willing to let me rent theirs for a fee?

Or, would anyone be interested in renting the tool from me, if I were to buy it? Sort of like a tool loaner program... I kinda like that idea...

Let me know! Thanks very much, as always

Gary.

I took my arm off the car and heated it in an oven at whatever temp the workshop manual specifies, 250 degrees F, I think. The old bearing slid right out and the new one slid right in.
