WTB or Rent M30 Iron Maiden Cam removal tool

[JBMW]

Hello Gents,
I am looking to buy or rent (if no one wants to part ways) an M30 Iron maiden tool 7003. Used to depress the rockers to allow cam removal.

Having bad luck with heads lately, sick of doing it the time consuming way. Need to do a quick head swap on a B35 and ive disassembled 2 junkers already.

I am located in 60527!

Thanks

Josh

They tore down one head for me a few years back and since then he doesn’t want to disassemble them anymore. $$ to do so was outrageous.

I made one a while back. And I'm just 90 minutes up the road... Let's figure something out.

As some of you know, I've been on a quest with heads lately. And as I tear them down, I am finding that the having the right tools will make my like easier. This has led me to BMW special tool #7003 - aka the iron maiden.

As seen here, it is what the blue manuals prescribe to remove the cam.

The trick is, you need to release/depress all of the valves simultaneously to allow the cam to make a clean getaway. Others have managed to circumvent the 'maiden by using a series of screwdrivers and wires. I considered this, but didn't feel it was as easy nor safe as just making...
