I guess you have to decide what "Special" Tools you make a part of this program. I have several tools I own that are very specific and only for one particular use. An AC Manifold Gauge Set and the Harmonic Balancer Holder Tool are a couple that come to mind. I guess you'd have to hope the tools that are made a part of this program are taken better care of than the loaner tools I've seen at auto parts stores. The auto parts store rental tools are banged up and abused.

id like to think so; the people here are arent the same as your usual auto parts store special. This is a much different situation with much less people (who id like to think are generally more responsible).

that being said, i rented the ball joint presses to do my upper ball joints and holy hell was that poor tool beat to shit. id like to chalk that up to people wanting their 211 bucks back (versus keeping a beat up tool).

A number of years back I saw a similar tool loaning idea come up and then crash and burn but it was on a Honda-specific site. There's a saying "Love Hondas, hate Honda people." I believe Toyota truck people are different

Might have to take advantage of this soon.
Just got some new Bearing Retainers machined and want to see if it will help with the axle seal failing.

Have you tried flipping the bearing retainer that the axle seal rides on and doing a grease/sharpie test to verify where it is riding?

I've flipped the retainer, and it still leaked.
That's the reason why I had one machined. Hope to install it soon and if it works to mass produce it since I already have the provisional patent on the design.

But did you do a grease or sharpie test to see where the seal was riding? That's the important part.

Grease tested it, and lasted about 6 months and leaked again.
I even bought the bearing holder (Cup looking thing) brand new. Axle is straight, no Diff issues.

I will post up results and pictures of the Retainer prior to install.

I’m definitely curious to have you report back after installing a larger diameter retainer that makes a stronger connection with the axle seal??

Update 10/21/2019:

@Bad Luck got the tool back to me since I've not had any other requests. He added a 4"x4" plate along with some PVC piping to help with all the press work to make it more of a complete package.

He's a stand up guy!

Cheers

It's the least I could do for you letting me borrow the tool! Saved me a boat load of $$$!

This is so awesome! I was just about to go buy one of those tools on ebay to do my upcoming bearings/seals. Just got the shop press put together this past weekend and about to order all the parts. Do I just pop back on this thread to make a tool request when I have everything ready to start the job?
