Remove Frozen Flywheel Nuts in Minutes, Not Hours. For any air-cooled VW enthusiast, the flywheel gland nut is the most dreaded part of an engine teardown. Torqued to massive factory specifications and often seized by decades of heat cycles, it usually requires cumbersome breaker bars or expensive industrial impact guns to remove.
This High-Leverage Torque Multiplier changes the game.
By utilizing a geared planetary drive system, this tool converts your standard hand strength into massive rotational force. With a 9:1 leverage ratio, a simple 30 lbs of force on your ratchet becomes 270 lbs of torque at the nut.
Key Features:
-
Safe Removal: No more standing on breaker bars or risking injury when a cheater pipe slips.
-
Precise Installation: Allows you to torque the nut back to the critical 250+ ft-lb factory spec using a standard torque wrench (just divide the target torque by 9 for your input setting).
-
Universal Air-Cooled Fit: Works on 1200cc, 1300cc, 1500cc, and 1600cc engines found in Beetles, Buses, and Karmann Ghias.
