I have to replace the starter ring on my sons 924S ( ring was trashed due to wrong starter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) i was sold) I am almost there, but am unable to pull the torque tube out of the front bellhousing. i have been at it for two days now and am considering making it a parts car if i cant pull the damn thing out. it is suppose to come out without force. I have all the workshop manuals and advice on other forums but need some sort of trick to make it come out.

When I was making my living off them I learned to love em.
We charge 20 hrs labor to do a 944 Turbo clutch. If I had the car and parts the night before I could rack the car and lay out the parts before I went home. The next morning I could start the job about 7:30 and have it on the road about 6:00. I was tired and so dirty someone else would do a test drive but it was done! The turbo's had the add challenge of the exhaust cross over pipe and waste-gate, additional heat shielding and very shallow heads on the bolts for the pressure plate. They are 12 point bolts like a CV bolt but only half the depth for the tool. I always replaced all 9 bolts since they got damaged at least, if I did not strip the heads out and have to drill them. Back then it was all in a day's work. Now it would probably take me a day to get the torque tube out. Good luck with it. Jim |
