Default looking to borrow/rent spindle tools

Hi all. Was wondering if anyone has rear spindle removal, set up, and install tools they'd be willing to lend out rent. I'm in west/central NJ.
Thanks Brent

FYI The spindle press is totally inadequate to remove the spindle in many cases (the inner race of the inner bearing becomes bonded to the spindle).

I'm hoping yours come apart easy but I've done hundreds of these and it's often not the case.

Good luck

Thanks, I made my own press and yes that outer bearing was stuck on the spindle. Took that to someone to remove it. I only bought the set up and install tools
