3B crank locking tool

[SteveH]

As title, I'd like to purchase or rent a crank locking tool. I was going to make something up for the job, but I've got plenty of other jobs to do at the moment.

Cheers Steve

Has anyone got a pic of what the actual tool looks like as I have a crank locking tool I used on my T4 but no idea if it's the same or not... A pic will let me see if it is or not. Thanks

I have one you can borrow, PM your address and I'll put it in the post.

This is what it looks like

[Christophski]

Nope in that case. I dont have one. cheers Andy. Mine looks nothing like that

[Christophski]

Btw, is this the same tool needed for an ABY engine?

[TimE-J]

No I'm pritty sure the 3B and ABY tools are different.

[Christophski]

Ok, can anyone show me the one for an ABY please and gve me the part number too? Or If Will is looking can you post a pic of the one you made out of the box section of metal so i can see what you have done?

The 3B tool isnt deep enough to lock onto the ABY damper, its also slightly different at the other end in that it bolts to one of the snub mount bolts instead of fitting around the snub mount.

ABY uses the VAG 3256
