Progressive Shock tool needed?
01/12/09 at 11:14:55

Looking to take off the end caps (covers) from a pair of 440 and have them powercoated/replaced....
Far as I can tell, I seems I will need the Progressive Shock tool, but I am wondering if anyone has done it without the tool, or if them have one, can I borrow it for shipping and a small rentor fee to ensure proper return.

Hate spending $72 on eBay for a tool I will use once.....

get the proper tool - think about it - the 440's are big $$$(let's say $300+) - botch them up fooling around on the cheap and what did you gain?
