why is the spindle extraction tool so expensive
It's a shop tool - only native weirdos in the US do their own maintenance shiznit
and hard to get hold of?
There's been a few chunky changes made to personal of late, and it looks like they are tightening up on the supply of shop parts and spares to end users.
That said you can order it in from Germany it seems.
Thanks to @Dogs, @Dammit and @Howard for the advice on bearing shields. Thanks also to @Turkish for the offer of some shields, but I'd already ordered some (together with the spindle and end bolts) when your offer came through.
Next question - why is the spindle extraction tool so expensive and hard to get hold of? Bloody Cannondales....
