Custom Tools To Work On Your Holden

[Immortality]

These are some of the custom tools I've made over the years to do jobs on my Commodores.

Holden IRS diff stub shaft and 28 spline axle cut down and 27mm hex ground onto the end to assemble and test LSD centers.

Adaptor brackets to bolt onto the Diff input flanges to undo, do up input shaft nut to set pinion bearing pre-load.

Tool to remove and install carrier bearing hub on IRS diffs, including a cap screw so you can measure and set carrier bearing pre-load with a torque wrench.

Adaptor tool that fits on the holes of the 3800 and ecotec V6 balancers so you can undo and torque up the balancer bolt.

Tool to remove valve spring with head fitted on the engine.
