Thread: DA1119 prop shaft bolt removal tool

From enquires I've made in the past, I'm pretty sure ALL of these things are the same item made by Koken

I have seen more than one reference to some of the cheaper propshaft sockets being knock offs of the Koken tools.

Just go buy a thin walled shallow good quality (brand) 9/16" ring spanner ,
I have had one for years and a 9/16" open ender in my car , Never a hard job and cheaper than the quoted price you guys are talking about
Gedore 1965328 4 1/2x9/16AF Flat ring spanner 1/2x9/16"

I've got one on the way. Will report brand later if anyone's interested. 10 quid insured freight, which is $A 19.00, on top of purchase price of 19.50 quid.

I have a Britpart branded 3/8 drive one. Just brilliant. I recently changed the rear propshaft on my 2 Door and it made it a 5 minute job, including putting the car on and off the hoist.

Works for me, just have to keep rotating the shaft for each bolt.
