What I haven't found is a source for the tools other than Porsche (~$125.00/set).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am in the process of replacing my clutch due to a throw-out bearing failing and am having difficulty locating a flywheel lock and clutch alignment tool. I have read on here that many others have completed this project and I am using the information gleaned to help with my replacement. What I haven't found is a source for the tools other than Porsche (~$125.00/set). Any suggestions or maybe somebody on or close to Cape Cod, MA could loan them to me for a couple of days? Thanks, Jeff 99 996 Iris Blue coupe

POST 2Original post

You can get a clutch alignment tool at NAPA, PepBoys or just about any autoparts store. Mine from NAPA came with multiple adapters to fit different size shafts. Why do you need the flywheel lock? Just lock the crank with a pin on the front pulley.

POST 3Original post

Clutch alignment tool is pretty easy to find & cheap, I believe it is common size for many Porsche. I had no luck with flywheel lock either so made it with 2 bolts & piece of scrap metal.

Thanks Doug. Could you describe this crank lock pin and location in more detail? My engine is still in the car. Jeff
