Hi All,

Removing transmission on my 996-last bolt on the bell housing is a triple-square or and XZN bolt. Does anyone know what size it is?

Thanks for any help.

The triple square on the gearbox is a 10MM. Take a look at Snap-On’s "stubby" set, about $50 and the largest (18 MM) is less than an inch in length:

PM me your email address and I can send you some info and diagrams for making most of the tools you will need.

All of my triple square tools are too long, what did you use? I'm about to cut one....

I used a triple square 10mm from AutoZone. OEM brand. OEM Brand came in a package of three(3).

Similar to these.

I cut it off half way off and used a wrench to turn.

Got them today and was surprised to find the 16 mm one is tamper proof which will be handy for the tranny drain plug.

You rarely can go wrong with Snap-On stuff.............often a bit pricey, but very well made. Some of mine are over 40 years old and used every day; and they still look new.

I have the same set and they have stood up well. A plus is that they are warrantied for life.
