Re: Where to get GM tools?? Here is just one example of how they bend you over. A plastic tool no bigger than a guitar pick (and about as complicated) is included Free with a timing chain tensioner for a 90 grand am, when you buy the tensioner ($12) at Autozone or about anywhere else. Buy the tool from Kent Moore $6 plus shipping, thank you bend over...I mean drive through..... Even considering their tooling and engineering costs, I bet they make a minimum 500% profit per tool.

Re: Where to get GM tools?? Well this was the first place that I WON'T buy any tools. I was looking to get the piston pin remover/installer thats mentioned in the Helms manual. I just got off the phone with them and that tool lists for $758.91 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
Anyone got another way to take the pistons off the rods for a little cheaper in your own garage?
