I am in need of this tool. Can anyone fabricate, sell, rent or loan me one?
I would rather buy one or pay someone to fabricate one.

I am in Massachusetts. I have a 20 Ton press, a bearing seperator kit and a bearing press kit. But no "special tool".
Thanks

I just put it in a press.

Not sure how you can put it in the press and press the collar and bearing out without the tool. Can you provide me with the details?
Bear in mind I have ABS s there is an ABS lock collar and ABS speed sensor / rotor.
Here is how the tool works in the press

Well, I spent many hours at the garage yesterday. First, I used a Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel to cut each ABS Lock Collar and ABS Speed Sensor Rotor. I then smaked the cuts with a cold chisel and that lossened the items to the point where I was able to twist and slide it off the axle shft. I then removed the snap ring and put the axle assembly in the shop press w/ a homemade SST (2 gas pipe fitted in the shpe of a T bolted to backing plate). that did not work. I then went outside and smaked the axle shaft to a block of wood. It took about 5 tries and the bearing and collar slide off the axle shaft (it was an aftermarket bearing (Timkien and the diff oil had oil had already washed away the bearing grease). However, I struggled for 6 hours trying to remove the OEM Koyo bearing from the passenger side. I tried heating it up, my home brewed tool, smaking it on the wood (too many times to count), and also tried pressing it out resting the drum pad against the press plate. So, now I am stuck with 1 frozen bearing that won't budge.

Sounds frustrating!

I've never removed the press fit bearing before, so I don't have any clues or hints on taking it out, but, I couldn't imagine it being all that much money for a shop to do it?

I made one for 20 bucks. I went to a junk yard and found an old 4Runner. They sold me the rear end minus the axles for 20 dollars. I cut the axle tube about 18 inches from where it meets the backing plate.

Obvioulsy the bolt pattern is a perfect match. All I had to do was weld a top plate on the cut end in order for it to fit in the press.

There you go......a $230 Toyota factory tool for 20 bucks.
