Information On Tools - Central Bolt System

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2013 Porsche 911, 2012 Porsche 911, 2011 Porsche 911, 2010 Porsche 911, and 2009 Porsche 911. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Only use socket wrench 9796 -1-  on the 911 with centre-lock wheel.

Never  use socket wrench 9451 -2-  , from the Carrera GT.

Reason:  The lockable wheel bolt (locking mechanism) will break off because there is no plunger for releasing the lockable wheel bolt.

This means that the wheel will not be secured. This can no longer be detected once the hub cap is fitted!

Only socket wrench 9796 -1-  can be used on the 911 with centre-lock wheel!

To avoid any confusion, affix an appropriate sticker to the special tool from the Carrera GT - socket wrench 9451! 

Order number for this sticker = 000.721.945.11
