RE: Tapered Axle Shafts & brake parts (fwd)

["Stegmann, Steve" <Steve.Stegmann@domain.elided>]

Scouters,

I've bought many tools from OTC.  Really good stuff, mostly reasonably (not
cheap) priced.  But then they don't make any high volume tools.  They make
all the specialty tools such as D44 ball joint removal tool sets (too big
for an amature budget), Ford water hose release tools, Garter spring hose
clamp relase tools, etc. 

Their pnone number is 1-800-533-6127 and their web site is 

            http://www.otctools.com

Contact them and they will gladly help you with tool questions and will
direct you to someone in your area who stocks and sells their tools.  I've
used them and they have always been very helpful.  Usual disclaimer follows:
asd f asdf a sdf asd fa sfd 

As for Proto  Just call Granger   Their number is on their web site.
