Smile Anyone in SoCal Loan/Rent me crank pulley remover tool?

So I'm currently in need of a crankshaft puller tool for my timing belt job but reeeeeally dont feel like ordering one and waiting for it to be shipped, JUST to use it once.

Anyone out there in So Cal willing to rent or even better lend one out to me! I'll return it with some thank you-beers!

I'm in LA area (Torrance, to be exact).

Thanks in advance!

Auto Zone or O'Reilly Auto Part rent this crankshaft and when you return it, you get your money back.

If I remember correctly the autozone one wouldn't work on my 2001 gs300. I could be wrong though.
Just do what I did, get a breaker bar and then just use the cars starter to break it loose. Took me all of 2 minutes to do it this way.
Good luck

What exactly do you need, the pulley holder tool, like this?

I can probably get my hands on one for you. I usually don't like doing this, but call it the Holiday spirit. Where in Torrance are you, and when do you need it? I'm in PV.
