'74 2.0 901 side shift
I had it in a jig, hit it for a few minutes, no luck - then put it in a press until the jig broke. Took it to a machine shop - he brought it to 6000 lbs before his jig broke. Told me to cut it off or heat and more pressure. I thought I would come here for guidance.......perhaps a vintage Porsche mechanic in the NE area? Help! |

Success - I could not get a new P225 tool. Every supplier is sold out. Or could I get a used one at a price I thought was appropriate (for me) so I used a bearing splitter......a really big one.
You perhaps remember the last post where the machine shop put a couple of Buicks on top of the gear and it did not budge. Well, I put it in the bearing splitter and then whacked it with a large hammer a few times. Success!

So, basically, you just needed a bigger hammer.
It's like my father's advice: If it doesn't move, hit it with a hammer. If it still doesn't move, hit it with a bigger hammer. If it breaks, well, you needed to replace it anyway.... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) I have a father like that - I don’t let him near any of my stuff! Loaned him a perfectly functional utility trailer with OEM factory wiring that worked with all my vehicles. I get it back a week later with wiring butchered. Lights didn’t work. Never dawned on him that His POS truck and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) wiring could be the issue and he cobbled the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) out of my trailer to work with his truck. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) Unbelievable I’m sure I’m the mailman’s kid. Didn’t get my fix-it genes from him. |
