991 GTS/GT3 centerlock tools and DIY info...

Who knew I had a centerlock socket and tool under the hood? I didn't and learned a lot from this guy's youtube video so I thought I would share...

Yes. Also the little tool that takes off your center cap. I've already changed one of my tires when it went flat. Easier than I thought after buying all the tools!! Yeah that video was a big help.

42, did you use the center lock guide/alignment tool to take off wheel?

Nope, it was easier to align than you think. Just be slow and use two hands of course to pick up the wheel/tire. What you don't realize is how wide the tire is when off the car.
