Hello lovely T25 people,

Just on the off chance, does anyone have this tool available to borrow for a Month?

I am having problems with my second gearbox now, it is not going into reverse. The original one from my Van is in bits and most likely needs the 3rd gear hub but I cannot access the insides, as I need this tool.

If not, I guess I will order it from the US.

Thanks

Katherine.

If you can't find a loaner, then Dieselkontor in Germany seem to stock it:

Watch this guy, he welded a ring of hex head bolts to a socket seems to work well

^^^ or just buy the right tool and sell it on once you have used it, easy to sell again.

I think that's a homemade version of 381/15, which isn't what the OP was after. Nice little video though.

great video, if you know what you are doing and have the tools,looks too nice to stick back under the van wonder how much that cost the owner?

Well spotted. I can’t workout what 381/14 is for?

Manual says it's for unscrewing the retaining ring on the main bearing carrier... ?
