Can anyone say , with some degree of certainty, how many different wrench sizes are needed to dismantle a STOCK 914?

I always joke that all you need is a 10mm and 13 mm socket and a couple of screwdrivers, but I do not know what the correct answer is.

just curious..........(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

me and a buddy went over this just the other day

8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 13mm, 15mm, 17mm, 19mm, allen wrench (6mm) [CVs],

edit: I know this because I use all of these wrenches and only these wrenches (actually sockets) to undo everything in my car,...I have everything I need for a engine swap in a bag just in case.

You also use a 5mm allen on a few things (cone screws, floor board, etc) And the 6mm allen for CV's is not stock. It is not a true allen, it's a 12pt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

And we can add a 27mm to the list, for the steering wheel

so when I get to those items on another car, i'll cuss up a storm and go to a store to get those....

I fully realized my CV bolts arent stock, but cant recall ever getting a 5mm allen out for other things--actually my cone screws come out with a 4mm.

I figured we wouldnt need to get into the inside of the transmission to consider a 914 dismantled, so I didnt add that one in.

Are the rear shock bolts 22mm?
I use a VERY good Cresent wrench (Channel locks)for everything over 22,includes the steering nut.

I paint my 13's and 15's (red and green)
to find them faster.
All 13 wrenches and socket-red, 15's -green.
17 is next in line.Yellow?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

30mm deep socket for the tranny stretch bolt. And a very large open end or box wrench for the mainshaft nut (dunno what size - bigger than what I have).

Only a left handed, standard, does the trick.
