if you have a old driveshaft you can use that to make one.... cut it about 6 in long and either use a pipe wrencuh or grind two flats to use a wrench.... good luck its tight

Hello, my name is "McGyver"..........:rofl: Well, sorta. I have only the special tools that are a must. You can do most of that work with what you have.

The impeller removal tool is about all you will need and you can get it through SBT for about $15 bucks.

You can also order your wearing ring through them. The procedure is fairly simple and is in the forum many times over. The bearings?

You can replace your bearings with the use of a couple deep well sockets and a metric spark plug gapping tool. To replace the bearings, you'll take on of the deep well sockets and place it in the center as support to keep them from cocking off to the side. Then, you'll need another deep well that is the one size under on the outside diameter of the bearings. Then, with them set up on a work bench, gently tap them out with a hammer and piece of wood.

To put them back in is a bit more complicated. If you decide to do this, let me know. I'll help you walk through it............:cheers:
