Question Tranny tool

I'm in the process of rebuilding a 5MT and I found I need a special tool to remove the 5th driven gear from the shaft since it's pressed on there and there's almost no clearance to get a tool between it and the flanged bearing. I contacted subaru.spx.com and they wanted like $260 for the tool. So, last night I talked to a CNC machinist friend of mine and we took some measurments of the gear etc. He says he can and will make me a tool that will do the job.

My reason for posting is that he said he could make me one tool for $100 or two for $140 and I wanted to see if anyone would like to spend $70 and get themselves one of these custom tools. I don't know all the specs for the dimensions but I do know he'll be making it out of stainless steel (I think he said type 314) When he's done it will look kind of like the tool at the following link: http://subaru.spx.com/detail.asp?partid=498077000 but will have bolt holes drilled to hold the two halves together under pressure. So, if you have any questions or would like to get one of these for $70 plus whatever it costs me to ship it to you either post here or send me a PM.

Another thought was maybe the group might want to get some of these types tools to loan or rent for a small fee to its members who might need them only once and don't want to buy them for a single job. Just another thought.

~edit~
If people think this should be in another forum, just lemme know (or move it, lol).

update

Well, my friend dropped off the tool and it's absolutely gorgeous. I didn't measure it but it's about 3/4 to an dinch thick, 3" wide, and about 8" long. He made it out of a very strong alloy of stainless steel, I think he said 340 or something like that. I'll ask him nest time I see him. I weighed the pair of blocks on a postage scale and the total was almost 12lbs. There was only one problem with it and that was the lip to go between the 5th gear and the bearing was just a tad too thick and won't fit in there. I'm sure it will be no problem for him to fix that for me amd modify the program for any future use though.

Man, I wish all my tools were that quality and looked that good.
