    I'm considering offering a needle bearing puller tool to remove the needle bearing for replacement with the ECGS bearing. ECGS offers a tool for the job for $45 plus shipping. Would there be any interest in a similar tool made by me and offered for $35 shipped in the US?

    Would like to see how much interest there is before I buy materials to make the first small batch. I'd probably offer the first 10 at a discount to get them out there and get some real-world feedback. I'd use the first prototype made to pull my own needle bearing to test proof of concept as well.

    If there's a forum where this might get more attention please let me know…or mods feel free to move it as you see fit.
