m103/m104 fan clutch removal tool - dealership price!?

[skiier3_9]

I called the dealership to get a price on the fan clutch removal tool - thinking "oh, its just a piece of rod - it can't be that expensive"

I asked for the price on p/n: 103 589 00 40 00 they come back "You're lookin' at $52.61"

Thats outrageous!

Does anyone know the approximate diameter of that rod? I'll make my own for that price.

Thanks!
