Not sure if it's a VW or Porsche engine tool, but I found this in a box with a case-splitter and some other specialized small tools. Kind of has me stumped

Anybody? ... Bueller? ... Krusty? ... (the winner gets the dime)

What's up with posting, and answering, at 3 in the morning? Don't you guys EVER sleep? Maybe YOU are rust ........................

The first answer is correct, but the added leverage is so small that it doesn't work all that much better than not using it at all.

Ah-ha. Always used pliers myself

Thanks ...

Snap On used to sell a socket that fit over the wingnut and was used in conjunction with a ratcheting box wrench. Best tool ever for the application.

time zones Krustovski

all versions of these tool are worthless unless the DAPM freed up the wing nut and applied copious amounts of Never- seize .....also bring a mini vise-grip, your smallest hands and extra elbows

Dave is a tool

Screw you Rich.

You and the moustache you rode in on.

Is this tool critical or can you just wing it?

There is only ONE time zone, and it's the one where I happen to be at any given time. All other "imaginary" time zones are symptoms of wrongheadedness. And don't you forget it, cause it's gonna be on the test.

OK, time to put this to rest ... FYI, I was up until 3am scratching my head and trying to figger out WTF this damn tool was for

Gotcha KST it is then

I think we identified the tool.
