Default Does Someone Have This

Looking to borrow or use someones inner cam bearing remove/replace tool. I am working on a 2005 Ultra and Live in Kenosha WI which is southeast Wisconsin. I have done this job before using the AutoZone puller and freezer method with a hammer and old cam but would like the sense of mind that all is well with the proper tools. If you are close a few beers is yours for the bit of time I need this tool.

Sorry, I don't have the tool but you should probably name the tool within your post so it has the possibility of hitting people's searches. Here it is: JIMS Inner Cam Bearing Removal Tool - 993
Good luck with the install.

There are a couple of different manufactures of the tool I am looking for. Not partial to any brand that I know of. The install tool is the more vital one to me. I fear smashing the new inner bearing in to far and not realizing I smashed the bearing untill my new cam is toast.

If you can't find anyone in your area, I can ship my Heartland kit out to you, if you want.

+1 on this. This has to be one of the simplest bearings I've installed. Mine just tapped right in....

there is nothing wrong with an autozone puller. then just put a socket backwards on a extension to tap the bearing in till its flush with the case.. if you have to use any kind of force, your doing something wrong.
