1.5 hrs from you but bump for a fella in need! There is a dealer in Greenville SC now. If you call them right now maybe someone will wait around for you to pick up the tool.

Tool

Try Auto Zone or Advance Auto to see if they have a star tool like that.
Quicker and less expensive if you need one they may be the best answer.
Nothing is unique.

They don't. Been there, done that. Sorry about your luck. I went to several places to replace mine and wound up having to go to a dealer. Hope someone came through for you.
