Yes, I know they are expensive, and yes, I know I may use it once in my lifetime, etc... but I'm still curious what wrench you guys are using for those that own the right tool for this.
I never found one that was not 10% the value of my Boxster, I used math and a long breaker bar....this was over 2 years ago and all is still fine.
