Default Re-post Tool Help needed

I need to find a place to rent the tools or buy at a good price. I'm In St. Louis and will cover shipping.
Getting ready to do the timing belt and valve cover gasket job pn my 96 2.8.
I need to find a Camshaft alighment tool and the crankshaft top dead center pin.
Any ventors out there that are inexpensive or offer rental? Any of you have either of the tools that you would rent me?
Baumtools.com has them both but they are $96 & $38.
Thanks

Default I loan them locally (no shipping, sorry) and they are out on loan already anyway.

Someone nearby should be able to help. Try the 12v forum and your regional forum. You can also rent from Force5. Look for cheapies on ebay too.

Default Honestly, it's probably cheaper/easier to buy the tools, use them, and resell them when you're done.

Blauparts rents them out if you purchase the TB kit from them (I believe).
