can we do this on a flywheel locking tool to make it universal?

ROG100

We sell them.
Mark at 928 International sells them.
They are called dual flywheel locks - fit both early and late cars.
Been around for years. Price about $66.

mark kibort

thanks roger.. BUT, (and i hate to even ask this, as it can take money out of your pocket)
can a standard early flywheel lock be modified to fit an S4 by drilling one hole?? or is it not worth the risk, as a little off here and you can damage a tooth on the flywheel if not perfect.

ROG100

The base of either the early or late lock is not big enough to add the extra hole - hence the large square base as seen in your picture.

Mark. That one you have pictured actually has 4 holes. Not 3.

mark kibort

so no go.... thanks.. weld up some larger edges on it and then drill 2 more holes?

SeanR

With all the money you save by using dumpster tires one would think you could actually spend some money on the real tool instead of trying to find a way to cheap out.

Oh come on now, be nice.

It takes at least 6-7 brake bleed jobs before those vice grips round off the nipple.

mark kibort

I have all the tools.... this is for the 6 liter devek stroker, owner.
I don't save money on repairs...... only tires! and stand by..... actually buying my first set of new tires this season....... 1st time since SpeedGT 2001

SeanR

Well I'll be............

Bet now you can keep up with that 900hp monster of Carls.

mark kibort

I think it would be pretty easy for me to keep up as is.....
Since Carl is still running the same times as the record breaker spec miatas, and I tend to lap all them over a race, I don't think Carls car will be a problem regardless of how much hp he puts in that car.
in all fairness to Carl, he is just tuning the car , and not racing it.
BUT, if he lets me fly out and help set up that car, he would be banging on the door of Anderson's records!

Ok, im helping my buddy with the 6 liter do a timing belt. classic.. he has never done one , and im helping over the phone and via text. he is doing well so far! Ill go over there to help with installing and tensioning it, but he is doing the grunt work

so, is there a way to pull off the front nut off the crank without the tool? can he use an electric rattle gun rated at 250ftlbs or will it no way move it. we can worry about cranking the bolt down later after its all together

He is doing some fast work. using all my short cuts

pop off fan belts,with large flat head screwdriver and clicking over the starter
drain radiator
pull radiator hoses
put fans on top of engine
pull plug wires
remove left and right belt covers, dip stick
remove rotors
remove ABS wire
3 bolts and drop alternator/PS consol in one piece ... move to the side a few "
remove crank bolt
remove center cover
pull off harmonic balancer and pulleys
loosen belt and remove, replace!

reverse to get it all together. DONE !

Rob Edwards

He's not going to get a tin cup for doing it quickly- why are we excited about doing it fast? Is he in the middle of some 24 hr enduro?

Carl Fausett

we have them also.

You dont understand, the faster it is done, the quicker the time comes where i dont have to hear about it!...... Plus, its nice to do jobs in less time, as long as the corners cut, doesnt cut any corners!
