You can try some of the major tool trucks, Snap on Mac and Matco. Because GM will not sell to you if you do not work for a dealer. At least a couple of years ago they would not. You can also try to call a GM dealer and ask the Service Manager if you can borrow it and offer to leave a deposit for the full amount the tool costs. This should get you somewhere.

I have used these before when I worked at the dealer. They work great when you don't have an extra hand.

YES. It's very easy. I used a 3/4" End Mill to machine all but the tooth (angle). That I used a 60 degree chamfer mill.
The bracket was just sawed out of angle iron and slotted. Nothing on it's precise. I sent you a PM telling you more about it.
