Can anyone direct me to a Vendor that sells them for use with Porsche Center Locks? Thanks in advance.

I got the Snap-on torque wrench that reads from 100-600 ft lbs. They actually make two, one is digital and it breaks down into a smaller package BUT you cannot reverse its direction and use it as a breaker bar. The one I got is the standard "click" style that is internal spring preloaded. It is 42" long but you can set a higher torque, reverse the direction and use it as a breaker bar. One tool that will both loosen and re-re torque the nuts.. not cheap though.... but then neither is the Porsche

is there a reliable online vendor for snap-on?

Tooltopia sells the Precision Instrument split beam and is reasonably priced too. A number of forum memembers have used it.

Snap On sells direct on their website too

Thanks is 3/4" the correct size for Center Lock Tool? or 1"?

Rob in Potomac

3/4" is the correct size. The only issue is that Precision Instrument now states that you also need to buy a breaker bar, in addition to the Torque wrench C4D600F36H (combination of two).

Precision tools 3/4 torque wrench around $300

Breaker bar from same place about $70 or so (don't remember exactly)
Use a cheater---(part of a handle from a floor jack)--to slip on the end of the breaker to get more leverage.

When breaking the wheels always push down---don't pull up---your back will thank you.

Air guns are a No No as the bolts are alloy unlike the Cup car set up.... Just use a breaker bar... The Porsche collapsible one doesn't fare well with the revised 600Nm torque setting. Don't waste your time with this option...

i have what you need.
i just need a model number or part number and your money. i am serious

when you visit TCD, ask him where he gets his snap on tool boxes from
