[s-cars] Special Tools -- Timing Belt Replacement -- 94 urS4

[David Giannandrea]

Spanner 2079 is simply an extension (torq multiplier) so you don't have to
buy 1" drive stuff.

I recall a writeup 4-5 years ago where these tools were substituted with 2"
square tubing and a pipe wrench. 

The author used about 4" of 2" square steel tubing (with a couple cutouts to
engage the shoulders inside the vibration damper).  Put 36mm socket on bolt,
insert square tube to engage vibration damper shoulders, counter hold with
huge pipe wrench, loosen bolt with similarly huge breaker bar.

You get the idea. Weld/cut as necessary. The key to this solution is that 2"
square tubing happens to fit the vibration damper.

Once you see a picture of spanner 2079 you can probably build it using scrap
metal and 36mm socket.

(I hope I got the 36mm size right)
