Porsche torque wrench for centerlock wheels
#2
From my searches over the past few months, I've collected the following tid bits and saved them off for future reference. I have not been able to locate the multiplier, but the most valuable tool, IMHO, is the collapsible breaker bar. I ordered it (< $300) and the Tooltopia.com Precision Instruments (PREC4D600F) torque wrench and called it a day.

Sorry if this is a daft question !
Is the guide pin for PCCB, the old pin for the 5 bolt wheels, or a new one to fit in the centre lock ? (The old type would be useless on these wheels wouldn't it )

cdixon - sorry for not using a better descr. The Part number I quoted above (997-000-721-979-40) is the guide/alignment tool for center lock wheels. For some odd reasons the front tool set in the 997.2 GT3 came from the factory with what appears to be the 5 bolt guide pin.

In that case, I'll get one for each wheel and an additional one for the spare. LOL!

Get this thingy for a convenient torque wrench:
You can get it on ebay from member "ccvtools".
If you want to also use this to loosen the wheels you should also order the next parts (I'm gonna order them too one of these days, just got the part numbers):
1/ea Part Number: A10C4D600F, Adaptor @ $41.70 List Price
1/ea Part Number: TQR600-6, Extension Tube @ $33.34 List Price
This allows you to replace the lower part (which contains the actual torque wrench system) with a second simple extension tube.
If you make some custom bag for it with velcro on the outside, you can fit all of this perfectly in the trunk of the car and it wont move around.(can always be handy if you need to change brakepads or need to have a look at a wheel when on a trackday, you can always borrow a jack from someone I guess )

I'm not so sure that this is the OEM for Snap-on. Having had hands-on with both, there are differences. Arguably no more different than a tool made by the same company in 2000 and 2010, but different.

SnapOn previously used 2 companies to manufacture their torque wrenches. Precision Instruments and CDI. They have acquired CDI and use their torque wrenches exclusively.
The SnapOn TQR600B is actually a PI torque wrench except for a different ratchet head which is SnapOn's.
The newer TQR600E is made by CDI with SnapOn's ratchet head. I'm not sure I like the newer snapon 3/4 torque wrench since the handle is part plastic/rubber. Also, if you notice there's a collar (black band) that hooks up to the midshaft that always seems crooked. I think the PI makes a better tool in this regard. I have their 1/2" torque wrench for my lug nuts and they work great. I find the split beams to be much better since you don't have to set them to zero have each use.
