TC 96 Cam Removal / Install Tool

Anyone have a TC 96 Cam Removal / Install Tool that they would loan or rent to me? I'm in West TN (38242). I've been trying to pick-up a used one but they go fast. I only intend on doing this once so I can't afford to buy one to keep. I understand that many people don't loan / share tools so for those people there is no need to flame me for posting this.

I've been following all the report outs on cam installs and have gathered everything I need except the tool(s) above. Thank you to all that have posted on cam installs.

Thanks again,

SP

Yeah that was plan B. Let me know if you hit any snags going that direction.

You can pick up the Gary Beatty tool for less than a $100. Maybe you could buy one and rent it out here on the forums yourself to recoup you money.

You can usually take it in to an indy, maybe even a dealer if it's a decent one & have them install the new cams. Call & ask around, it's usually cheaper than buying the tools.

I'm confused

how did we go from a bearing puller (OP) to a ring compressor?

I'm even more confused, I don't know how the thread went from a cam removal tool to an inner bearing remover/installer. I was about to tell the OP that with the TC96 you don't need a cam removal/install tool because the cams come right out and drop right in
