Ordered individually, the detail components cost out at $103.45 net. However, to expedite ordering and shipping and provide an incentive for purchasing a complete set, a 10% savings can be realized on a package order at $93.10 net.

Unfortunately, our vendor of #383172 Retaining Ring Remover & Installer Assembly can not ship until April 1st. Because of this one item, the complete package will be back ordered until all components are available. Whether you wish to wait for awhile to get the 10% savings on the complete package or order individual components now available is your decision. In either case, place your order directly with Outboard Marine Corporation, Galesburg, Illinois. Be sure to include prepayment.
