mweeks Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Can anyone tell me where I can get the 12 point tool used to remove the rear axles? Quote
944-Spec#94 Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 I think my father got ours from the snap on guy. I have heard these can be had some pep boys. 8mm triple square. Don't do it without the tool as it will just strip the bolts and cause you pain. Quote
Tim Comeau Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Snap on offers the correct tool in a socket, 3/8's drive. It's also called a cheesehead. You can go to Napa or Pep Boys and get the tool shaft only, but then you have to stick the base of that into a 8mm? socket to use it. .......which it keeps falling out of. I've considered converting my CV bolts to normal allen heads so I don't need a special tool. The 12 points do give more surface area than a regular allen head for applying a higher torque, though.

Packfill Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Micheal, if you have trouble finding one, and just need it for a week or so, call me and I will put it in the mail...... It's just one socket..... Snap-om truck, about $25. Those bastards....... Quote
944-Spec#94 Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Yep $25 bucks is a total rip off... Utill you spend 3hrs getting on out that got stripped. Don't ask how I know. Quote

mweeks Posted January 14, 2005 Author Posted January 14, 2005 FYI: Pepboys has a set of "Triple Box" tips that utilies a 14 mm socket for $14.99, and it has 4 bits, 6,8,10,12. Quote
Tim Comeau Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Yes, but those are the ones I walking talking about in the above post. They fall out of the socket. Quote
