Ok, so when I went to drop the transmission, the cv bolts looked pretty chewed. Where can I get a fresh set of these? What size are they? Also, I've seen references to a special tool for removing them? Are they just a little different than a torx bit? Pelican Parts lists bolts & tool for a 68+ 911, is this what I want?

its a double square bit, 8 points. Torx are 6 i believe, the 911 tool listed in PP is the one...
This same bit is available at your local sears, or good auto parts store |

I thought it was a tri-square, but I could be wrong. Anyway, you need to use new bolts and new lockwashers. Torque them up properly and don't forget to check after a week of driving. There are many stories of grief when they get loose and the drive shaft acts like a big club and whacks everything within reach. On a friends car it just bent the gearshift rod, but others have had serious damage.

How bout a 12 point Star bit or just ask for the VW CV Bolt tool.
You can replace them with a hex head - just match strength, length and thread. or something like that |

My Sears no longer has them (I checked recently).
Pep Boys did: All the info you need should be in this picture. Less them $10 for the set if I remember correctly: From my experience, always tap them lightly with a hammer to fully seat them though the muck and grit before torqing on them. Attached image(s)

It's nice to have one that goes on a 3/8" ratchet without the use of a separate socket.
Here is one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW |

It wouldnt surprise me a bit if Pelican takes "liberties" with the pricing of these tools
Lisle is the brand I just couldnt remember... KB is another brand that makes these tools Heck order one from snap on!! you can do that online now! |
