    I have a home made front differential driver's side needle bearing puller. It worked like a champ and didn't even nic the OE needle bearing. (Patting myself on the back here- lol).

    No snickering at my crappy welding ability. I'm a novice! The tool ain't pretty, but is 100% effective.

    Use this with the ECGS bearing-to-bushing swap.

    I'll ship it for the cost of a USPS small flat rate box. PM and I'll give you my email/PayPal name.

    I'm #2 on the list. Hopefully this one keeps being passed along unlike the last one on TW.

    A guy by the handle "Mongoose" just PayPal-ed me the shipping charge ($6.80) and it's on the way to him tomorrow morning. I asked him to kindly contact me or you, ElCidAviator, when he's done with it. He confirmed that he would.

    If this one gets lost, hit me up and I'll make another one or two if people want them. Not trying to make any money here. I need the practice welding and this is a useful practice project!

    Same for me. Or if you don't have time to make another 3 then let's please pass them on after use.

    I've seen 3 of these threads and it seems like they never get passed along after a couple people.

    I think Mongoose just PM'd ya about the tool. It worked perfectly for him and he's ready to pay it forward.

    For those of you who want a tool...let me see how my weekend goes. I'll try to knock out a few if I have time. I'll check back in later this weekend or Monday

    Someone posted the specs either earlier in this thread or in a similar one. I don't have any detailed measurements at the ready- I just used the bushing as a guide to make it. When/if I make a couple more, I'll use the needle bearing I pulled as a guide.

    Cheers
