I've never seen those. Those might work, at least to get it off w/ a wrench or a couple of interlocked wrenches for more leverage. If you can't get enough clearance, you can move the gearbox as Thomas suggested. Hopefully the bit side of things isn't stubby too, as you want max insertion of the bit to prevent stripping the head.

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to write that up and take all the pictures. Very informative. I guess I will drop mine off with you this December and I will swing by around March to pick it up...thanks!

I didn't do any extra in the rear regarding toe in. The thing with these spring plates is just the thing that you get rid of the Weissach effect which makes the car more predictable under load. The toe angles now stay as they are. I feel my rear end is clearly more stable and linear in high speed corners especially in the mid corner sections. I also replaced the outer rubber bushings so the result is probably a mix of both these changes, but the rear end handles much better now.

I did not bond the outer poly bushing to the arms. When you first insert the bushing only into the arm (dry, no grease), it is a light pressed fit, but once you insert the inner metal piece (greased) into the poly bushing, it expands the poly in the arm and holds the bush in place. At least that's the concept and what I observed.

I bought the book off a local PCA guy and former 964 owner. It's by Bentley Publishing, coil binding, and titled 964 Techncal Data.
I believe this is the latest version of the same book. Someone else, please confirm?

Sharp blade and I think I was applying some paint thinner too in hope of softening the rubber. Toward the end, I used something like 100 grit to knock off any rubber remnants.
