"Chrysler Distributor Bushing Installer Tool"

[dkamp]

Would anyone consider Loaning/Renting me the Bushing Install tool?
I could send you a PayPal $150 and when you get it back from me, you send me the money minus your rent fee.

I had one and sold it some years back. I was under the impression that a aftermarket bushing (not mopar) didn`t need the tool. You may want to check.

Proform Parts 66488 - Chrysler Distributor Bushing Installer and Reamer Tool

From my limited knowledge only the DuraBond AD-584 does not need Burnished.
All others do. I talked to the Local dealer mechanic, and he said he recommended they all be burnished, or the surface may prematurely wear the intermediate shaft.

The only Installer tools I am aware of is the SPX C-3053, Proform 66488, and OTC 6293.
the best price I have found is in the neighborhood of $97
Thats a bit high for me for a One time tool use.

I did just discover with my Google-Fu skills, that Hughes Engines will rent it.

Seems like you Pay $199.99 plus shipping, then when you return it, they refund $164.99
For my situation it would be $35 plus shipping 2 times. This may be the best method to use the tool.

To me a better option may be to buy it and then sell it when done with it.

So I've got what you are looking for, would be willing to send it your way, but given that I am across the border I suspect the shipping will plain suck!!!

On top of it, when the thing is coming back you need to fill out customs paperwork with it so that I do not get hit with Duty fees...yeah, no joke, happened before, keeps on hapenning unless you literally figure out the TAX treaty importation code...and it better be right!

I think the HughesEngines approach may be the cheapest way to go about it.

Thank you guys.
I went ahead and bought a Proform 66488
It worked flawlessly and only took a few minutes to install the bushing.
The hardest part was leaning over the fenders.
I now would like to sell the tool for $80 and I will pay shipping.
I prefer paypal.
