As Al says, the Trickett Marine one is the easiest to use.

Thanks, is there a link to it anywhere? Can't find it on the TMP website

I could do with a universal alignment/install tool as well

I think Barrus have sole marketing rights to it now, so be prepared to have your arse spanked.

Not sure if it's the same one but I have been quoted £400

I might just get a rear axle bearing kit, pretty much does the same thing, even the Snap on kit is only about £60

Ouch, that ain't a spanking, that's a severe beating. I'd be sending my hard earned abroad then for one of these..... Volvo Cobra OMC Alpha Bravo Merc Gimbal Bearing Puller | eBay UK
