For loan: Delta link bushing tool (P/N 9995497)

In order to restore for loan service, I suppose it would require the tool itself back... heh. I've found a new phone number, updated as recently as 27 October, for this individual. More to follow.

Good work Ryan.

I'd fight to get that thing back. It's your tool, you paid for it and it belongs to you. Regardless if somebody has issues, they know very well that it isn't theirs and it's their responsibility to return it.

I get screwed over occasionally by using the honor system, about every 4-5 weeks. Based on volume, that isn't very often but I still don't let it slide. It's usually by those that I'd least expect to do it, but there's a common theme among those that do. They usually have one or more of the following traits.

1. Self-righteousness.
2. Arrogance.
3. Laziness
4. Sense of entitlement.

I make it relatively clear that if you don't return my stuff, you're going to hear from me often. I'll call your wife at work, message you through facebook, email constantly and call often. The funniest thing about it is that in the end they'll almost always try to paint themselves as being the victim..

You covered it right Robert.
I would add calling mother-in-law, and the barber shop. Advise him to run for something.

What would it take to restore For Loan service, and you continue this fabulous work at MVS? What can we learn from Matty Moo's ABS service about Controls, in addition to the workings of an honor system.

I purchased the tool (after being in line for this one for a month or so - then hearing that it was stolen), and plan to use it in December-January to do the delta links on my fiance's 850.

I think what we should do is have people pay for it, and then resell it over and over. Everytime you use/resell you only pay shipping costs, just as if you had borrowed it from the owner in the first place. I don't plan on using the tool again, and would be happy to be the first to "sell" it off to the next user to start this back up again.

Let me know when you are done with it. I may be getting around to the rear end suspension by then and we can put a plan together. PM me anytime about it.

Sent you a PM - i'm stuck right in the middle of the rear trailing arm job right now :/

It would help to post DIY notes with picture using the tool. How you troubleshoot would help the followers.

I PM'd Xpletive about the tool - if he is still interested in buying it now, then we will get this thing started! I haven't had the chance to do the work yet (the parts are too expensive and mine are *Completely* shot).

I will start a new thread, if he becomes the first stop for this new/revised "rental" thread. I don't really plan on having it sent back to me every time - although I do hope that people will continue to rent it out rather than keep it! I will be needing it sometime this year.....

For this loan program to work, I suggest that the deposit is HIGHER than the actual cost of the tool. This way people do NOT have incentive to keep the tool.

Let's say the tool actual cost is $120.
The deposit should be $200, once the tool is returned, the person should get some $180 back ($20 goes toward shipping costs).

Also, one can buy and own the tool for 65 Euros:
