Well yeah that is a tool for sure , I just don't know if it's one I can pick up at oreilys

 

I need to see if I can make one if they cost a unbelievable amount

 

Unless you have something to prove just buy the tool instead of fiddle fucking around with pine wood and Dollar Tree bolts. Being a Designer/Machinist/Toolmaker by trade I am pretty sure I could have handled making one but I didn't bother. Buy once, cry once.

Is it just me or are there no prices listed or anything ? Lol and if it wasn't for the time crunch I would be alright

 

Most of the time I would agree with you, unless the tool is cost prohibitive. The "Loan a Tool" programs can also be a good option. I have very limited space and a tool that I'm likely to use once in my life really isn't worth owning. "Buy once, cry once" really doesn't apply at that point. I tried to loan one but the places I checked with didn't have one. I was able to make one at no cost but some junk I had handy and 10 min of my time. It's not a mater of "something to prove" It's just what was best for me at the time... With that said, if I ever have the pleasure of needing such a tool again I will put more effort into finding one I can barrow instead of making it.

 

Yeah kinda feeling the same way . I won't need it again for a long time lol .

 

Unless something goes wrong I expect it will be over a decade maybe two before I would need one again.

 

@xcmtb83 do you think I could just buy 2001 body mount bolts since they should be longer ? Also do you know if the bolts that connect the brake lines to the caliper need to be copper or can they be whatever ?

 

Brake line to caliper bolts have a special shoulder and can not be replaced with just any bolt. They are usually referred to as a Banjo bolt and not copper but each time they are removed it is highly recommended to replace the copper crush washers on both sides of the Banjo end of the brake line itself.

 

Hey thanks for the info man

 

So I couldn't find a pulley deal at northern tool which leaves me to just attempting this with a breaker bar and a impact lol im sure I'll figure it out

 

I will probably be there if the weather is good. Might be going to this event which is always a good one!! ....

It would be cool go go play in the Black Hills! ...Maybe next year...

 

Kinda what I'm thinking . 1 more year lol

 

Why wait?

 

Come fix my clutch and I'll go

 

Just bought the tool after all lol studs seem to be long enough to account for the broken edges

 

Ha Ha... my truck & I are neither one ready. I have a pile of parts in my garage, more to order and armor to build and can't do any of the work right now. Surgery is a MFr... If I'm lucky I'll be able to start working on it in 4-6 Months.

 

Next time I need one I know who to call!

 

I will happily bring it over now that I know the headache of this shit lol
