Does anyone know where to get this special tool needed to take off the rear rotors? It's a star shaped bolt that needs to come off...I can't seem to find this size tool anywhere.

 

Anyone?

 

Is it a torque bit?

 

I believe so but for some reason, we couldn't find the right fit anywhere. Have you removed the rotors on yours?

 

it is a called a tripple square fastner. Snap on makes a male socket for this. Looks alot like a 12 point bolt.

 

A Porsche dealer said it was made by Snap-On...do you know of any online retailer that might carry it? Porsche said they didn't and couldn't sell us one.

I see them on Snap-On's website for sale..but for some reason, these look like the opposite of what I need...I know nothing about tools, so sorry if I sound dumb...the stuff on the site looks like it's made to tighten something made with that shape by sticking the tool inside...I need something to pull it off by wrapping around the nut.

 

Not sure if SnapOn has an online store but Matco does and I think they carry the same

 

Thanks for the reply baseballfanz...do you know exactly which one I need? I might have to call Porsche and just see if they can give me the exact size, part number, etc.

 

They sell sets with various sizes at Kragens or Pep Boys, the dealer will not have a part number for it, and you'd have to speak to a service tech to find out the size. I'll be changing my front rotors this weekend, I will verify the size.

 

i bought mine on ebay

 

Kevin, you only need this tool for the rear rotors not the front...i already did the fronts with no problem...are you planning on doing all 4 rotors?

 

Ahh ok, just the fronts.
