Default Special Tools source?

Is there a good source for some of the Special Tools mentioned in the ST-12?

I'm currently looking for a J-5814 (Speedometer drive Gear Remover), but will probably want some of theother special tools eventually, as well.

Thanks,
-Brian

Default Re: Special Tools source? (bk2w)

Most of the work can be done by creative use of a standard set of tools or some light fabrication of fixtures. I took the speedo drive gear off with a standard bearing puller using long threaded shafts rather than the shorter bolts that came with the kit. The only tool I have not been able to replicate is the mid-year pinion gear depth gage because I could find no reference to the actual measurement.

Tool places for the standard tools are all over the Internet at various price points.
