Diff Nut Tool

[burnard]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anyone knew if there is, and where i could get, the specific tool for removing the diff nut on the F13 gearbox?

I am talking about the castleated nut on the casing which holds it in place.

Cheers,

Chris.

25 mm angle iron, about half a meter of it. Take your time and press down hard while undoing.

U used to be able to get them on eBay, but any laser cutter will be able to design and cut one out for you

theres a small supply of original gm stock in america still, but there silly money, around 130 quid for the tool when i looked last.... not worth it.

i'd do what stuart said with a piece of angle iron. cheap and effective.

EDIT : ... i just had a quick look on ebay for some and this aftermarket one popped up.

i dont use them often enough to justify getting a tool myself. upto you. £15 tool, or borrow a slide runner from a cudboard drawer for free :)

Pay the 15quid it makes sense.

Don't know they were that cheap... Buy the damn tool

I bought 2 last week, the kent moore type. It was 5 Eur each.

Thats not a bad price for that. I thought there had to be a tool for it!
I have done 2 now with the angle iron and its a pain in the arse. id been searching ebay and the like but couldnt find it.
cheers guys.
