[alfa] Re: Engine Lock Tool Needed

["Dean W. Cains" <dwc@xxxxxx>]

Hi Tom:

I can't be too specific here, but I've heard several times that VW 
performance parts vendors sell a flywheel locking tool that fits the Alfa 
4-cyl. perfectly.  As you suggested, it bolts on in place of the 
starter.  And I recall that it was inexpensive, maybe <$20.  It all makes 
sense, considering that both makes use Bosch starters that are likely 
similar.  Maybe another Digester can fill the gaps with a part number and 
vendor.

Regards,
