Default Centerlock Wheel removal tool! Must see for the DIY guys!!

Have you noticed that Porsche does not supply you with a tool to safely remove your wheels without the risk of damaging your brakes(PCCB!!!) or wheel. They provided us (the Dealer) with one but not the customer? They include the socket, but for whatever reason they still put the old guide pins (2 of them)for the 5 lug wheels in the cars with centerlocks????? They will not work, they are just souvenirs. Thanks guys. Soooo. with this being the case, My brother and I came up with a solution. Use of this tool is a MUST for PCCB owners and a good idea for steel brake owners alike. It allows the wheel to safely clear the rotor and caliper before all the weight of the tire and wheel is in your hands. If you are a avid DIYer and want the security of not having the risk of damaging a PCCB rotor (very $$$) and your wheels, calipers alike, send me PM and I will get you some more info.

That's cool. Can you also come up with some wheel nut tie-downs?

Hilarious.

BTW, doesn't Porsche offer a similar tool? Assume the one offered here is cheaper (and comes with it's own batteries).

I purchased the torque wrench (tooltopia)
a set of GoJaks
big breaker bar

may as well do this - look's like a knock-off of the $499 bargain piece from Porsche - only yours is better looking

Please email bob.knapp@omahabox.com w/price

Thanks
