Anyone have a 911 ball joint castle nut socket tool I can borrow or buy or .... know of an alternative?
Going to loosen the old one with a pipe wrench but I'd really like to have a better method for the installation of the new one.
Thanks
Pipe wrench, car on Jack stands, feet against car, pull hard, put in clip And pin, good to go.
Properly supported, I can easily pull 200 lb/ft on a three foot pipe wrench.
It's plenty tight.
Yea, I got the old one loose with some PB Blaster, a large pipe wrench and a pipe over the handle. Its more an issue of getting the new one tight....really didn't want to bugger the new nut getting it tight.
Just looking for options....and that's one.
Thanks Rich
This is what i use. Cost under $20 at FLAPS. Used for Dodge 4 x 4 spindle nuts. It is a little big so i line it with magnetic tape used for price lables in hardware stores.
Can be used with an impact. Have to keep it centered on the nut.

Have you tried the local autoparts store?
I know Autozone has free tool loans, I wouldn't ask for a Porsche application, just take the part down there with you.

Thanks a lot....exactly what I needed. I had seen a reference in previous posts over at the bird board to a Dodge 4x4 tool but hadn't been able to find more info. We are "auto parts store poor" here in Atlanta....no Flaps, just Advance, AutoZone, Napa and O'Reily and everyone carries about the same stuff. Great for Hondas, Fords, and Chevys but not so for anything else.
Did a quick search and found the tool (using the W1269 P/N) new on eBay for $11.50 shipped!!
Thanks!!!
