MGB Cam bearings - Lisle 18000

Last night used my Lisle 18000 cam bearing removal tool and it was great! With this tool it took 15min to remove all three cam bearings (each different diameter), and most of the time was spent reading the instructions. I tried to find ways to drive them out but broke down and bought the tool and glad I did because of the ease of use. I did find that I only needed the Expander mechanism because the bearings were all small enough. The full kit comes with mandrels for many, many bearings that are much larger than 18V cam bearings. Looking on ebay you can find just the expander (part number 18330) for $25. The entire kit was $140. So I got way more in the kit than I needed, but it was simple to use and no damage. Now I will have a tool to lend to others!
