Rather than making a new tool thread, any comments on this for getting off flywheel bolts? Would it be up to it? $169 on sale for jap made rattle gun, 425ft/lb (so about 575nm?). The $40 supercrap ones are 310nm....

transquip link

should be fine Adam - as long as you have the air pressure for it

there is a tool out there, but i cant find the name - its has a 3/4 inch fitting for a socket with a small arm attached to a swivelling long arm

you hit the long arm with it setup like an L so the down force from the hammer blow cracks the nut.

if i find it i'll post up

For flywheel bolts I've always just used a 1/2 inch breaking bar and socket...

How did you hold the crank still? With a rattle gun i can just ignore that issue. And its a good excuse for buying new toys!

Hey, you guys might be able to answer me.

Cylinder hones, whats better the flexible ones (with all the abrasive balls) or the ones with 3 straight stones.

Ive used the 3 stone ones before with pretty good success but never tried the flexi ones.

Cheers

You can get a tool that bolts onto two of the bell housing spots, and it locks into the flywheel.

I believe the Volkswagen one fits.

I also just had some piece of steel around that fitted the above job perfectly.

3 stone hone will take alot more of the bore out

ball hone is just to de-glaze the bore or to remove surface rust if oil ran away from one bit

You're talking about one of these; right? post-61153-0-84460800-1307628247_thumb.jpg Sidchrome Impact bar. Only ever seen 1/2" drive though.

Features

  • • Creates impact to shock frozen nuts loose
  • • 8 x torque multiplication with a single hammer blow
  • • No compressed air required
    I have one; Best. Tool. Ever. Well, except for ratcheting ring spanners...

You might do better, but at least an indication.

~$30 of awesome

Tie-rod end/pit-man arm puller, long gone are the frustrating hours of hammering the crap out of, prying, heating, WD-40'ing etc. Put it on, wind in the bolt, CRACK, done!

Want!

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
