Citroen door hinge pins from a BX - you need to shorten it slightly but they come with a tapered end, which is extremely useful!

sorry, I realised late last night I could have told you they were 6mm :oops: - the "punch" I use is in fact one of the extra long M6 rocker cover bolts from a late 3 litre. Being M6 makes it slightly less than 6mm and being a capscrew makes it high tensile. . I've used it countless times, and it doesn't get stuck either, because you can just unscrew it.

Special tools and all that :D

Are you should have said Robert Dyas, stainless, very Cheap :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though have you tried Renault and asked for 21 turbo items same box. I am assuming the drive shafts will be very similar at the gear box end worth a try maybe. I am sure thats what was used on my GTA :wink:

PMSL :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: just in case you've got a BMW M6 parked in the back yard :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Before you say yes I know its a bolt size :wink: spose if it gets somebody outta trouble, but you just cant beat having the proper tool to do the Job

It might be a 21 but it was built using the correct tools to do the Job :wink: Having said that you should have seen the time we changed the subframe with engine in situ....it worked tho'

That's just it - I had a proper punch once apon a time, and it was forever getting stuck or bent. It could do with being a smidge longer, but that bolt has worked perfectly every single time since I started using it.

Every mechanic has a drawer full of "special tools" that they've made up or improvised for specific tasks on specific cars - like my ball joint splitter with the ends ground down so it fits around the DeLorean's speedo drive
