CV bolt tool

[gatesj at mailblocks.com (John Gates)]

Agreed again, it will really suck when the Lisle one strips.  My 
experience happened when I was torquing my flywheel bolts on my VR6 so 
I could get the gearbox in and drive the car to work.

The Lisle set is http://www.lislecorp.com/tool_detail.cfm?detail=1080, 
#60750, but do yourself a favor and buy the Snap-On ones.  I am not a 
huge "everything has to be Snap-On", even though I would love to be 
able to afford their stuff.  These are actually the only Snap-On tools 
I have but they are worth it.  The Lisle ones are OK in a pinch but 
don't use them for high torque things like flywheel and head bolts.

are both like, WTF?  So, any direction to a parts place with these here 
would be
great or else its gonna have to be $$$ ordered from the states....yuck. 
 Thanks.

Chad,

Cambodian tire does have these.  Go to the auto section, near the
'Help' shelf.  There will be a bunch of Lisle specialty tools.  Most
of the guys behind the counter have no idea they're even there...

I'd recommend flagging down a Snap-On guy though.  The Lisle ones
suck, plus the Snap-On tool is guaranteed for life.  Mine is going on
5 years old now, and it's still mint...

Later,

Mark.
