RSFB Tool

I understand a special tool is needed to install the RSFB. Does anyone in the greater Boston area have that tool?
I'm not going to do the job myself, - I'm looking at having an Indy shop do it - but I don't want them to have to buy the tool if I can just supply it with the bushings.

Why do you want to supply the tool to them? That's their responsibility

Because if they have to buy a new tool specifically for my job and my job only, they are probably going to charge me for it.

If I could buy used locally, or even borrow, that would be better than them buying a new tool that they will likely only ever use once, for which they will probably charge me (maybe they won't - I haven't asked, but I'm assuming they will - I would).

No, they can't charge you for tools. That's fucking ridiculous. Plus there's a good chance they already have the tool. Even if they don't, it's their responsibility to get the proper tools- not yours. If they try to charge you for that tell them to go fuck themselves

If the do charge you for the tool, make sure you get it as a deliverable when you leave, then rent it to others who need it. Like me.
