Default Camshaft bearing tool for ls3?

Where can I get one? No parts store I called seems to carry one or loan one. Need one by this weekend.

How did you guys get them in and out?

Frickin GM decided to stagger the sizes, so many small block tools don't work, supposedly.

That's not a good option for me for many reasons, so I'd like to do it myself. Thanks.

Ended up buying this one http://carshop.carshopinc.com/produc...24334/CSP10900

Was a little worried cause the description doesn't mention LS3, only 1 2 6 7, but the guy on the phone assured me it will work.

Was just worried cause the ODs of the LS3 bearings are staggered. But if it goes through the center one, which is the smallest, I'll be ok.

You could just make you own, just a thought.

I didn't end up buying the tool, I found a shop to swap them quickly.
