Make your own for the most comfortable grip & right feel for drifting-in. Made a bunch from Wooden Kitchen chair legs;
add 3/8 threaded rod in end. add laser-cut 3/16" thick steel washers; 1 pushes the bearing, the other goes inbearing as a nie guide So you whack the rubber foot end and drift the old out. Then you load up 1 new bearing, and tap-drift in. With an eye on what you are doing it is Easy peasey. NO honing. |

I've had the Lisle tool for several years and see that there are now copies out that are less expensive. Since the original post was "Cam install tool" and not necessarily about cam bearings, it might be good to point out that my Lisle kit used course thread for the assorted parts and cams are fine thread. I simply made an adapter from a bolt that now has course threads on one end and fine on the other and this allows me to use the 28" handle to easily guide cams in place.
