Yesterday I installed the IMS bearing, RMS, replaced the o-rings on the tensioners, re-installed the AC and throttle body, damaged the PS pulley and had to order a new one, and found a strange looking sensor lying loose and tucked behind some wiring - no telling how long that's been there.

We've used this same nut from IMSR Prototype 001 that I installed years ago and we haven't ever considered using anything else.

For the record: Snugly tightening the nut first with a box-end wrench and screwdriver will prevent the stud from turning when you torque the nut with your torque wrench.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The LNE IMS bearing has a 12 point 11mm nut instead of the factory 13mm nut therefore the Porshe special tool I purchased to torque the nut will not work. I have not found any commercially available torque wrench adapter that is suitable to reach the nut recessed within the IMS flange. I don't know why they couldn't source a 13mm nut instead of a 11mm. Anyway, so how has everyone who has installed the LNE IMS torqued the center nut while holding the stud stationary with a screwdriver? What kind of torque wrench adapter did you use and where did you get it?

POST 3Original post

Hey Sanders, why arent you posting up more pics of your work? How did the bearing look? Clutch, flywheel, etc? Doing anything else?

POST 4Original post

The fastener in question is referred to as a "jet nut" and is an aerospace quality, completely flat based nut thats far superior to anything from the factory. No special sockets or adaptors are necessary, just a 12 pt 11mm or even a 7/16" box end wrench or socket will fit just fine. Out of near 13,000 installs we've never had a complaint about this nut. We've used this same nut from IMSR Prototype 001 that I installed years ago and we haven't ever considered using anything else.

The bearing was fine. I started putting everything back together but it's been apart so long I forgot where a lot of the little parts came from, so I have to search for a pic online to remind myself. Yesterday I installed the IMS bearing, RMS, replaced the o-rings on the tensioners, re-installed the AC and throttle body, damaged the PS pulley and had to order a new one, and found a strange looking sensor lying loose and tucked behind some wiring - no telling how long that's been there. I certainly didn't remove it. It has a plug so there must be a wire somewhere. Today I'll install the cam plugs, clutch and flywheel, air injection pump and other miscellaneous parts on the south end, then install the transmission and new slave cylinder. Hopefully I won't have any parts left over.

I'm sure it's a great nut.
