Prolly the kit for tightening the 36mm axle and flywheel gland nut's. Be wary, I bought one from the US (different supplier than this) and it's a
piece of sh1t. Hasn't worked once. Lucky I have the big gear

It would be totally acurate if it worked, as Matt stated his is a piece of crap, it is a torque multiplyer, 10 to 1 gear ratio, we use this type of
equipment all the time except it is slightly higher torque values, 2000NM and up, hydraulic one have taken over from the manual type in the industry
that i am in.

Same place for mine....on mine the gears don't even mesh on the flywheel ring-gear, ie; it doesn't work.

6 foot of bar with a 36mm socket welded on has always worked for me and with the flywheels i just bolt on another bar that picks up 2 of the clutch
pressure plate bolt holes .
Yes i can't tighten to any setting other than FT but it hasn't failed me yet .
The top tip though is NEVER tighten your gland nut with a big rattle gun as you have no feel over it and if you have split the nut with over force
then when that flywheel comes of it's gunna make a mess
Don't let body work get in the way of real suspension travel
