Rear Differential Seal - Grooved Nut Tool

[Pastarnac]

Gentlemen,

I am on a quest to get an off the shelf, low cost tool, to get this grooved nut tool. There are some around on Amazon @$10 but I need the dimensions so I can compare and decide which one would do the job.

I am asking the community to post the dimensions (as I do not have a spare, it is still holding my leaky seal :
- diameters (ID/OD) of the socket wrench
- width of the channels

In exchange I will do the research, check on fitment and post the tool web address. If not possible I will look to modify (machine) an ordinary socket wrench.

Or... if somebody already did the research, please post the tool.


Thanks,

[Pastarnac]

In the meantime I got an answer that this may be the tool:

Mbzse,

I see the pic of the tool but not a drawing or dimensions.

Can you attach the drawing or list the dimensions A, B, C as annotated in previous posting?

In my Posting you see the attached picture, and under it two text rows which are Links. The lower link opens a .pdf file, which has the drawing you seek. I attach it again below

Here is back to community...

I found a decent tool, at $10 to do the job. Look on Amazon for:

Motion Pro 08-0015 Oil Filter and Clutch Hub Spanner 24mm ID

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WJBLDE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


Probably any 24mm ID 4 prong spanner would do it
