Default paging buffman (water pump seal installation tool)

I saw some previous threads of him selling a tool for installing the water pump seals.. I know its been awhile since he stopped selling them, but i'm desperate for that tool. I've got everything i need to put the motor back together minus that one little tool.

Or if anyone has that tool and is willing to send it over to me lmk pleaassee

And I have read turkey basters, dry erase markers etc.. But I spent a few grand into building this motor right, so spending an extra $17 for the proper tool is worth it imo.

I used a 12mm or 13mm socket for mine. Worked like a champ.

Yeah the connecting shaft that goes en between also looks like a perfect fit also.. But i would punch myself in the face if i had to tear back in there and change the seal all because I didn't get the right tool.

Just take your time man. The one i just did was the first one i ever did. Went without a hitch. I also warmed it up a bit in hot water too though.
