But they're in Taiwan and say they don't have a U.S. distributor. That may be the same as the kit you reference, and as far as I know could probably be the same as the kit sold by Baum.

Finally, I found a place that claims to have the original GM kit, they're called SPX Kent-Moore (http://www.spxkentmoore.com/), and they want about $530 for the kit.

It's frustrating to need such an expensive set for a relatively routine maintence procedure.
I'm waiting for one to come from England from a place called tools in stock, apparently they are having trouble in getting my order stright, where do you live??? the KM tool is a GM tool provider, good quality but you don't need that, the one I'm trying to buy is less then $200. I used the KM tool and it is very good, the components i'm looking at are very similar.
