CAM bearing tool...

In preparation mode for swapping the cams on my 2013 Softail Breakout to some Andrews 57H's. I've got everything to do the job except for the bearing tool. It's a long shot, but I figured id see if anyone on here owns it, and would be willing to "loan" it to me for a weekend in exchange for a few bucks towards their own mods??

Anyone interested??

I was always curious about this too. I'd be willing to take next loan on someone's tool if they're willing to loan it. Maybe a PayPal deposit or something.

I tried to buy one used on here, but got zero responses. Just sucked it up and bought the Heartland tool on flea bay for $105....May sell at some point if/when I need to spare coin...

You can use one of your old cam shafts to drive the new bearings into place. Leave bearings in the freezer over night, liberally apply assembly lube to the bearing cage and bearing boss; install with numbers facing out. Just make sure that the bearing is centered in the bore before driving it in. Tap, tap, tap and done.
