[C320-list] Cutless Bearing Project

[Mark Cole]

Hi, Troy;

I used the bearing puller a couple of years ago and it worked great.  There is a form to fill out on the C320.org <http://c320.org/> website to get the tools sent to you.  You need to be a member and log into the website to see the form.  It is under the tab "C320 Resources”.  Fill it out and the tool loaner administrator will get ahold of you to work out shipping.  When I used the tools, Bruce Stumpp was the administrator.  You will need to pay shipping both ways and that isn’t cheap, but it was still worth it.  I was able to hang onto the tools for a couple of weeks and Bruce will tell you if you should send the package back to him or on to another member.
