The Bushing on my stoeger coach gun has come loose. Its what holds the firing pin in, I know I just had it worked on and can easly send it back to have it tighten, I plan to do that, but I would like to find the tool so I will have should it ever happen again. Thanks for your help, I have tried Brownell's didn't have any luck.
need a little help

I believe that there is a toll made for them. I don't know who sells them. I seem to recall pictures of one on ruger.com at one time.

Old Boz,
I'd check and/or replace the firing pins, the originals can be too soft and mushroom which would make them tighten up. I'd also check how the pins, springs, and such are assembled. If they are not assembled exactly right, there can be problems, too. Check your schematic to make sure you've got them together right.
Do the firing pin return springs seem to be stiff enough to return the pins?
Anyway, I replaced my firing pins with the black anodized stainless firing pins from Longhunter. Viola, no more problems! DTrader and Brownell's also have wrenches for removing the firing pin bushings. I created mine out of some steel scrap and three drill bits that fit the holes in the bushing.
Another thought, do you shoot the Holy Black? Might be crud buildup if you do. Clean well and after every shoot.
