Hope that works out for you 51PhatBoy.
Yeah, we have a good deal with Autozone Parts Store here.
They loan you all sorts of tools to do the job. Another time I rented some coil spring compressors from them, then took them back. Actually, what they do is sell you the tool, if you don't take it back it is yours, but, if it's something you really don't use very often then you have the option of taking it back, for total refund. It's really a pretty good deal.
Yeah, I hear ya on the "proper tool for the job". that was preached to me all my life too, but sometimes I'm a little thick
