Where do US based owners rent the special tools to change the crankshaft damper seal. Specifically, I am looking for the following:

• 303 588 - Crankshaft Harmonic Damper Puller
• 18G 1437-2 - Harmonic Damper Puller Adaptor (is this one necessary?)
• 303 191 - Crankshaft locking tool
• 303 191 03 - Front Pulley Lock Adaptor for Supercharged cars
• 303-538 - Crankshaft front seal installer (is this tool optional?)

I tried emailing Dave Roche at DCR auto a few weeks ago but have not received any replies. I do not have a membership to the Jaguar Heritage. Is there another place I can rent these special tools?

 

Members of the Jaguar Clubs of North America (JCNA) and Patrons of the Coventry Foundation or the British Sports Car Hall of Fame may borrow tools and only pay for shipping. This program was established 15 years or so ago. You can go to the JCNA web site or the Coventry sFoundation web site and see the tool loan program as well as a PDF of all tools available. That list needs to be updated as many tools have been added to the list. The tools you have listed have been loaned many times.

 

Thank you, I will check out the JCNA.

 

Today I received my welcome package from JCNA with my Membership Number and will be requesting the tools soon.

 

I hope the tools are in Florida so the postage doesn't cost as much as the tools. BTW Gian, how are things on the Island after the hurricane? Apparently YOU have electricity.
Didn't PR get hit hard?? Our best to you. TM

 

The southwest of the island got hit very hard. Some areas still don’t have electricity. However most of PR is up and running although occasionally, we do get power outages. I live in the north east metro area where all that we received was copious amounts of rain. Where I live, the power service was re-established during the first week after the hurricane.

I also hope the postage doesn’t end up being too expensive.
