Yeah, the specialty tools are a drag. The one I purchased for my Civic trailing arm bushings was nearly $200. But it’s so specific to the application, no one locally has it for rental, etc.. it can be done with a press, and the correct size cap, but I figured I wanted to have whatever I would need to get the job done.
That's what I'm finding, no local parts stores have one for rent, and most of the shops I've called don't have the specialty tool, they just wing it, telling me they just kinda know where it goes....... I guess I'm ok with the tone ring being off 1/8" or so as long as the speed sensor isn't trying to read at an edge and the spline it's trying to read is 1 3/4" long. My concern with seating it is not having it go in crooked and having to buy another at $60 a pop....I do know the depth of the tone ring.....
I've considered buying and selling it after, but sounds like it might be tough to sell since folks are finding other ways to get this done. Not sure....I'm probably going with a press at this stage...like everyone else does it seems...going to need some luck on this one....I have a few days before parts get here to mull it over.
