Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / November 2006Transaxle / cv joint Spline tool
Hello all I'm about to remove the transaxle on my 924S I need to get the right tools before I start the Job. I have not got any spline keys and was wondering what size I need for the CV joint bolts. Also the pinch bolt on the Drive Shaft (inside th inspection cover) Thanks all Rich The CV joints are a "Volkswagon CV joint 12 point tool" -- or that's what I said when I went to NAPA and bought mine... The drive shaft connector is a regular allen head, and I BELIVE it's 8mm, but not 100% positive. I also believe that two of the bolts that hold the transaxle to the torque tube flange are also allen heads -- probably 10mm. And I think the transaxle drain plug is 17mm. > Hello all > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Rich p.s. the bolts on the drive shaft coupling have to come all the way out before it will slide... > Hello all > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Rich second that "all the way out" statement - don't learn that the hard way like I did.

I'm sure I'll find one :-) Rich > second that "all the way out" statement - don't learn that the hard way > like I did.

I would expect that you have similar outfits in the UK, though never having to repair a car on that side of the pond, I can't say that I'd remember any names - I guess the point is that it's a common tool. In fact here we have an outfit called "harbor frieght" that sells cheap junk tools from china - they have a set of those wrenches for (as I recall) under $10 - you may have a simialr outfit as well, or if all else fails, order from harbor frieght or a US location and have it shipped to one of us to forward to you - a USPS small flat rate envelope to the UK is under $10 and can take up to 4 pounds of stuff (that's pounds mass, not pounds sterling) bill > Thanks for that - Kragen - Napa - Shame I'm in the UK ! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >> >> I got the spline tool at Kragen SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com Thanks Bill I am sure I can get the tools here - I just wanted to make sure I was ordering the correct ones ! Also, I have heard of harbor freight - and would probably go for better quality ;-) Last thig I want is for snapped off bits and chewed up bolts because I bought cheap tools .
