Crank locking tool
Hi does anyone in the UK have a crank locking tool that I could rent in exchange for some beer tokens? Seems like the UK suppliers are out of stock and I'm halfway through a cambelt change.

Hi, sorry to bump this old thread but I'm just about to get the cam belt done on my '86 S2 and the garage has asked me if I can get hold of a crank tool (9161/1) and a tensioner gauge tool (9201) before they commence the job. I was hoping I could rent these tools from someone, please?
I'm based in Dorset so was hoping that @C531XHO might be willing and available to help out a fellow 928s owner.
Any help or advice would be very gratefully received. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you very much for the replies and very kind offers, gentlemen. @Bedfordman and @C531XHO I'm not even sure if a tensioner tool is necessary, I've always been fond of the 90 degree bend technique but I really don't want to put too much stress on a brand new water pump.
I'm DT9 too so I'd like to take you up on your kind offer @C531XHO I'm more than happy to put some money in the kitty. Does anyone know how many posts are required before the messaging system is available to new members, please?

Thanks for the private message @C531XHO Unfortunately, I can't reply to it, I'm in Poyntington. Kind regards.
