Rod, you and I are in the same boat unfortunately. I tried replacing my belts last night and as it turns out, mine's in even worse shape than yours. Looks like I'll need a new alternator. I don't see how I can possibly salvage this thing. It's completely round on the inside. Worst thing is that there is no way to really tap the triple square bit in it because there's only about 2" of space between the hood latch release and the bit when it's inserted.

It's not always necessary to remove the nut when changing the belt on these air cooled motors.

I bought a 10mm torx bit (12 points) for 5 euro ( 7 usd) , visited several tool shops... they looked puzzled when I asked it, they had m8 m9 m11 m12 but not m10 unbelievable !!!!
those Porsche engineers are a funny lot !!
now up for a 24mm spanner !!!
p.s. boy ! would I love to have an original 964 toolset.... anyone have one for sale ??

With my luck though, I'd end up in the ER with 4 smashed fingers, and a bloody engine compartment.
That guy has a calling...just keep his cell phone on speed dial during those backroad excursions
