I’m sure that if it was suggested to A.N., and there was enough interest they would have them made. Maybe P.M. @Madnorton ?Okay - here's a tool I haven't made, but will if I have to repair another Mk3 anti-backfire device.
The difficulty is how to apply 50ft.lb to the shaft whilst clamping the gear.
So far I have used a pair of modified (1/2" tool steel welded each side) automatic visa-grips with a piece of 1mm ally sheet to protect the spline. I works (just) but is a PITA.
Next time I would buy the splined thrust washer (see below) and weld it to a 1/2" drive 1" socket. Gives direct, solid connection for the torque wrench.
Cheers
