I rented a fantastic tool last winter from Ken@WeekendRProducts
I believe the tool rental was $50, plus he wanted you to buy the cutless bearing from him, $50, plus insurance and round trip shipping ($50). Well worth every penny!!!
This is a job that you do not want to go south on you mid stream. The tool is very robust and functional. I have zero regrets using him. Very easy transaction. The only problem is that this time of year there will most likely be a waiting list. E-mail him at the address I posted and see.
