Designed to remove & install the 2 1/4" nut locking the trans pulley in position. Use with a 1/2" drive torque wrench


Depends on the year. I just did mine last week. Ended up using a pipe wrench on the socket with a 4' pipe on the end of the wrench.

+1 Just finished two 30 tooth installs, the proper tool is a must if you don't want to mess up the end of the shaft. FWIW the sprocket from the MoCo PN 83595-11 is $62.23 plus shipping from Zanotti vs $130+ for the Andrews, a couple months ago when I bought 2 of them they were $53.00 each.
