M.B.S. Manufacturing - Anyone using their cam bearing tools?
I stumbled upon MBS Mfg through an ebay listing. It appears that they are offering a inner cam bearing remove/replace tool kit including the Torrington B168 bearings for quite a bit less than other tool makers.

Does anyone have any experience with this company? The item above is all I would need to remove and replace the inner cam bearings, correct?

I used MBS's Item# ICBLTC8-1A7A installer tool on my 04 Wide Glide last month. I used the inner cam bearing puller from George's Garage. Note that the installer tool from MBS is on sale at a good price. The tool in your link will not pull and install the bearings; their description is misleading on that.

I just recieved a bunch of tools from MBS. They are all top notch as far as I can tell. I ordered the puller/installer for cam bearings, crank lock, and oil pump alignment screws. I will be using them tomorrow for the first time. Comparing them to JIMS tools the machine work looks good. Alot less money too.

very old thread (I know) but looking at a cam swap in the future on a Twin Cam. The tool in post #5 above is referenced and discouraged in this video. Not saying it won't work (no disrespect to anyone), but it only need to miss "once" and you have a headache on your hands.
