Yes. $39. P/N: 11-42-7-525-334
And get their cap wrench while your at it... It's a nice tool.

I still can't understand how the nut on that aluminum cap got so mangled when a bolt extractor with a breaker bar removed the cap. I thought for sure the cap was cross-threaded in place.

"Reading Between the Lines" in the first quote above: Once the contact between the cap & housing was broken ("one crank") the threads turned freely, as designed. No thread damage reported. If that is the case, I can only think of ONE explanation. HINT: Nut Extractor ONLY "Bites" when turning Counter-Clockwise, viewed from top. We ALL make mistakes. The FASTER we go, the MORE likely we are to make mistakes. The MAJORITY (or nearly so) of issues reported on the Forums arose due to "operator error", either "current" or "PRIOR" operator. IF you ever "Solve the Puzzle" (Human Condition), let me know. Here endeth the Sermon. George |

That would explain it. I always liked "clockwise" and "anti-clockwise". But in this age of digital... |

Perhaps the "25 NM arrow" threw the young chap off with regards to direction of tool operation. |

Haven't seen "Anti-clockwise" (with Bonnet, Boot, Spanner, etc.) since days on Jag Forums. That was the "Near Side"; This is becoming the "Far Side" Rant: I think the "Digital Age" has pushed MOST folks "over the edge", to where Most are now "Faking it", & don't really understand ANYTHING. What do you "do with yourself" now that you don't commute three hours per day? Or did you cut that 170 mile round-trip to TWO (2) hours per day, thereby establishing "close personal relationship" with local Troopers & Sheriffs? George |
