Of course I had to find this after spending $112 bucks for one. Decided to dollar cost average and order a backup since they are so cheap at $16.43 plus $10.70 shipping. Will report back once received but wanted to pass this along in case anyone is needing one.

I'd always used a pipe wrench so didn't need one until I saw the price on this unit. Ordered. Thx for the tip.

I'm going to share my secret for saving even more on this tool:
Borrow from @markhoward when needed!

Buy the one that JimmyT makes. He's on pelican and ESR. It's a lifetime tool for about $60.

I use it on my 1/2" impact with really corroded nuts and it still looks like new.

- Not only does he make those great tools, he also makes oil t-stat covers for the 911 t-stat AND nice badging for your 911 grille

He also makes a very nice 914-6 ignition bezel.

and tons of cool 911 parts

"price was 2018"

@mepstein How do I contact JimmyT - cant find a way to search the Pelican forums...

Do you have to join to search over there?

Thanks...

Yes, you do have to join. I'll pm you his contact info.

I didn’t see the rest of this thread but ordered the one on eBay. It showed up yesterday. My old one was kind of trashed and for the price, it might be nice to have a backup.

Man I would buy one at that price but forgot my password and I swore off ebay a year or 2 ago.

Hey @mb911 Ben - if you're not in a hurry, i snagged one for you. Let me know where to ship it.

Hi Steve!

Is this ebay add is the correct size tool for 73 and up? Ebay add said not compatible for my 74.

Not a clue.. both of my cars have 911 front suspensions.

The nut is the same on 914/911

Thanks Mark, that’s what I thought, but my 914 with early 3.5” struts had a goofy ball joint that my previous tool didn’t fit right. I used my dremel tool to modify the nut, so my tool would fit it. The tool fit fine on the new lemforder ball joints. Weird…

I am not I'm a hurry. Let me know..

I can PM you details and pay you back

Thank you Steve and Mark!
