Oops, sorry I missed your other question. The nut is the usual right hand thread. |

Jorma, 1. Use a rag between the gears as a stop, don't ever use a screwdriver, you could damage the gears. 2. The socket has to fit into the notches of the nut properly to be able to get the proper torque. |

I also made the tool by my self, but tell me what is the right way to use it? That will say how to hold the axel not to rotating during opening. I had to heat the nut up before it went loose. The kind of power needed whitout heating was too much. I know there is locks in the nut, I opened them, so that was not the case. I dont like to put a screwdriver between gears. How do you use to handle this? |

Very good point Paul. I e mailed Greg and mentioned that to him earlier. Someone mentioned in a thread sometime ago that "Baum" tools, I believe, carried that socket. I don't remember the price but at the time it seemed reasonable. I also made a socket to remove the nut on my steering wheel. With a little time and design it can be done. MAGOO |

I did my 308QV two years ago and I agree that it is not dificult. I too used the expensivecar instructions. If I remember correctly, there is one challenge and it involves a very special Ferrari tool to remove a large nut that retains one of the transfer gears. Being cheap, I bought a socket for about $9 and I filed on it to make it serve the same purpose. The socket is not very useful for anything else now but it was worth it to not have to buy a Ferrari tool that may have cost $100. |

How difficult is it to replace the clutch on a 78' 308 GTS? Has anyone ever performed this replacement before? Does anyone have any tips or hints to this procedure? Thanks, GREG |
