Anybody have a cam bearing tool that I could rent or buy? Planning on doing my cams in the next 2 weeks! (TC 96)

 

Well I bit the bullet and just ordered a new one from Mr Beatty.

 

I bought one from him last year, it's a very high quality tool. Now, where did mine go......

 

Who is "Mr. Beatty"?? Please give a link or something for those of us not in the know.

When I did my cams, I rented the tool from my local AutoZone. Best thing, it was FREE!!!!

 

Seriously!? Autozone has one??

 

FWIW and having read lots on HDForums, Autozone has a version of a bearing puller they loan out.
I have never seen the pictures of what the guys use and I have yet to hear of anyone having any bad/poor experience with the tools they get from there.
As for Gary, his tools are top notch and a good guy to chat with too. beattygw@sbcglobal.net
Then you will have your very own cam bearing remover/install in your tool box.

Yes, they have blind hole pullers for rent. You buy the tool, then they refund the money when you return it. I used one when I changed my cams. I paid them $180 for it, then they refunded my money upon return. You can use your old cams to install the new bearings. Just lube them and tap them in.

 

The AZ one doesn't have an installer plus if the old bearing should happen to brake all the rollers wind up inside the motor, the one from mr. beatty has a capture sleeve to prevent this.
