Even at $74 it's was more than likely cheaper than what the Dealer would have charged you do to the job.
Even if I have to buy new tools to do something, I always consider it cheaper and I have the tool for the next time I have to do the same thing. It is always cheaper to do it your self than having someone else do it. And that is even if they did cover the new part, labor still would have been more expensive than what you paid. Plus you got the experience of doing it yourself so next time it won't be so bad.
