Tool is AVAILABLE.

FYI, just noticed that if you return it within 60 days I can issue a refund through PayPal which also refunds the PayPal fees.

first Id like to know how to get the injectors and rail off without the injectors pulling out of the rail, and then breaking where they go into the rail. this is opel injectors. the stock ones don't have anything to break where they go into the rail

You wouldn't have to do this with opels. I have no experience with opels but I hear they are very fragile where they go in the rail. That's why ZZP ships them assembled.

Ya they have a little plastic nipple on them that sticks in a hole in the rail. They brake off extremely easily. 2 sets, broke every one on removal both times lol. They pop out of the rail when u try to remove , then if u so much as touch Em or even put them back in the rail a little to hard, the nipple snaps.

I never checked in here as Im not in need of renting it but I just want to say, thank you ExNinja, this is an awesome use of the forums. There could probably be a tool rental thread if people were interest in renting tools. I know Im not using my 650 ft-lb torque gun and complete impact socket set all the time, but I would make the hold fee way too high for anyone to take it seriously lol.

Sockets were $200 by them selves. Also most people would probably go to autozone or pepboys to rent most of the tools people need. Im guessing this tool isnt something they would have?

Yes, this is definitely something Autozone wouldn't have. I needed this tool when I replaced my engine, and had to bite the bullet and buy one. I've even seen some companies do tool rentals on other forums but nothing here. There are quite a few specialty tools required for this car, so there is definitely opportunity for a thread.

It's pretty easy for this tool. I can pack it in a First Class envelope and only mail it for $3. I net $4 including the cost of the envelope, and I figure that's worth it to stand in line at the post office. At this rate, only 3 more years till I pay off the tool

Thanks for the kind words everyone! I'm glad that people are able to benefit!

I expect to have it back on Saturday. If you get the funds by Tuesday I can send it out. Otherwise I'll be on vacation from 7/27-8/9.
