Anyone have one that they want to get rid of, or know a place I can get one? I can order one online for $77.99 + shipping, or have Bond (autoparts store) order it for $45, and even then it'll be a few weeks out... IMO that's a little outrageous. I rather not have to disassemble the front end to replace the struts on the two Luminas.

it's about $110 deposit on a loaner tool from AZ.  even if one was an hour away, you could grab it and return it at a later date (up to 90 days) to get your cash back.

Autozone is a 2+ hour drive from me... I found a knockoff on eBay for $29, and a 3-prong one for $15. I need to check the three cars and see if they have the three prong jounce of four.

only 1988 need the 3 prong type removal tool.    all yours should have the 4 prong.

Crrraaaap. Of course my car needs the more expensive one   :x

isn't the 3 prong just for the '88 Jouce bumper retainer? I believe they still have a 4 prong nut that holds the cartridge in.

I ended up getting the tool off carparts.com for $30. It works great for removing the old strut cartridges, but the KYP GR2's are too big for it, which makes putting them in a fun experience.
