JX flywheel locking tool

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I managed to get the flywheel off without it, but would like to source it for when I come to torque the new bolts up.   The manual says vw 3067 but I can't find it anywhere in the UK.

Does anyone know a tool I could use instead?  Would this work on a diesel:

	Difficult to say. It doesn't look anything like the proper tool.

	The one in the link is for boxer engines, I use a screwdriver and bolt in a bell housing hole, works easy enough

	Just stumbled upon this old thread few minutes later: http://vwdiesel.net/forum/index.php/topic,17479.15.html You can use a type 1 flywheel lock if used with a long bolt and a spacer.
