Apparently Lycoming parts dept no longer rent this tool. Used, if you can find them, they are ~$900, or new for a mere $5,000. It feels like the biggest joke in aviation tools, as it's just a set of pressure plates.
Before I start building my own, does anyone know of a place near Portland who might rent it?
I'm aware of the Ryan Machine tool which uses the threaded rod and V-block to push on the crank journal. My mechanic is leery of pushing on the crank.
Thanks.
