Good idea. I forgot about them. Great dealer. His inventory of Figaros is staggering.

1. Have you checked auto parts stores for the tools? They have tools for loan. These might be too specific for the chain stores to have them, but you won’t know unless you ask.

2. Did you check the cost of removing, rebuilding, and reinstalling the steering rack? A fully assembled replacement might be cost effective when compared to the rebuild cost. If you buy the replacement rack, you can probably sell the parts you accumulated on line.

I believe this particular tool that I need is not available at any chain stores, but I’ll have a look, just in case. Thank you for the suggestion. I have removed the rack myself. Wasn’t that hard. Fully assembled racks ain’t to be found in the US.
