Like I said...some...I'm not there to see what is in there. I don't know if they're original or replacements. I just pointed out the possibility and the rest is up to him.

I ordered the ATD 5400. I am going to try and do the repair tomorrow. Will let everybody know how it works. Fingers are big time crossed.

Well as long as it holds for the long term we are good to go. Tool wired great and very easy to use. Took me probably 2 hrs total from watching the included video to taking my time going step by step. Went exactly like the video went so that was good. Fingers crossed for a long term fix. Plus I have 7 more inserts for the others. Sure hope I don't have to get to that though.

Here is what the kit looked like? Very well built and even though the instruction dvd was outdated it was very spot on to what you needed to do.

Paid $240 for it. Tough pill to swallow. But sure beats pulling the head off.

If you can, buy replacement inserts then sell the kit. Even if you only get $200, it's still better than nothing.
