    That may be a problem. :p:p:p
    You can actually buy the tool to do the job. :)
    Unless you dont want to spend the money, for a one off job like this? :)

    Go buy the spindle nut wrench for the early Dana 44 (4WD front solid axle) . It will be in stock in many stores. Bring your clutch assembly down, and test fit them on the nut. Its not perfect, but it will do the job and it won't ruin the nut.

    JM3, that looks like a 6-pin socket, and it doesn't look remotely strong enough to deal with the torque on the clutch ring nut. Have you had success with that? I made a tool out of one of these 4WD sockets, even beefed it up, and it BARELY worked once, then chewed the pins right off it. So I purchased the Hill tool.

    I have one I used three times. Here is an actual pic, I bought it at Kragen, and the teeth are actually recessed. There is "support" around the teeth, so they couldn't move anywhere. Its not perfect, but it works.

    That's more like it, jm3! That looks like a proper impact socket. But the ring nut on the 348 clutch is probably torqued MUCH tighter than the spindle nut on the Dana 44 (I don't know this for certain) so that tool may not be designed for the load on the Ferrari. Is it 1/2" drive?

    If it works, great!

    Of course.

    I would consider this tool an emergency tool that works very well. Kinda like using a screwdriver for a prybar.
