Anyone made an ECGS tool?

I know I'm not the only one who thinks $60 is a bit much for a one time use tool. My requests to buy one from a TW member has gone unanswered.

Has anyone made their own tool for removing the stock needle bearing in the front diff so the ecgs bushing can be installed?

 

There are a bunch of people who bought the tool and will sell it or lend it to you. When I do mine, I'll be using the ECGS tool.

 

You cant find a used one on here because people snatch them up quick when they go on sale.

That being said, buy it and then sell it when you are done with it - People on here will jump on it faster than a duck on a june bug.

 

if i sell mine im gaurenteed to need again right after. seems to be how it works

 

$60.00 I would not even think Just buy one.

It is the $1000.00 tools that you might never need but can`t go without

 

Bet you could go to a mod day and someome will have one.

 

You guys rock. Got an offer I'm gonna jump on. Thank you guys for the replies!

 

Been meaning to post this.

I used a small jaw bearing puller with prongs reversed on the end of a slide hammer. You cn see below where the end of the threaded rod pushed against the arms to help set the diameter. Worked like a charm.

 

Was wondering if one of those would work. I almost bought one just to see. Do you know what diameter is needed? What did you use to install the new bearing?

 

Not sure what diameter is, maybe 50mm.

I just used a bearing hammer/punch to knock new one in.

 

Thanks.
