Re: Tools source

Im not sure if i have one...but i know princess auto has them for sure....the only down side is your gonna have to a buy a 5-6 piece kit which contains the 17mm allen socket, cause they dont sell em separately!

Re: Tools source

Is the drain plug socket suitable for drive shaft bolts (200NM)?

Re: Tools source

What do you need it for?
I know the 5 speed tranny's use these, but also on my wife's passat its used to take out the bolt that holds the driveshaft in the hub. The Passat one you need an impact one though, that one from concept one will break.
If you are looking for the tranny one, small trick, 17mm wheel bolt, 17 mm wrench and push it in tight and hold it while turning. Not stripped a tranny plug yet and all 3 cars were from ONT with 300,000+ km's on them.
The allen key on the 1/2 inch drive is safer though and pretty hard to screw up.
