[jboogie13]

More specifically the triangle sockets i will need to disassemble an injection pump. I have sockets wrenches and most importantly hammers. but i dont know if theres a way to source the proper tools for the job?

That one is for the top cover triangle bolt that TDIs have. IDIs do not have that bolt. At least that's what I can gather from the description.

oh dear haha well i guess every diesel owner has to have an involvement with prothe at some point eh?

Tools are tools. You cannot screw them up, wouldn't trust his pumps.. but tools are tools.

I made all my own by deftly using a dremel grinding bit for chainsaw sharpening on the most appropriate socket.  The side triangle 3-points I think I made from a 6-point 13mm socket.  The pressure regulator socket I made from a 10mm 6-pt and the front big triangular nut I made from a 24mm 12-pt.

you make a very valid point, but i may attempt libby's approach just for the purpose of not providing prothe with my business.

thanks for the quick replies guys

I strongly disagree.

Soft cheap tools round out a lot faster then quality tools.

Snapon Philips screwdrivers also don't snap the ends off the first time you go to use them like Mastercraft stuff.

Oh no, you're a snap-on fan boy. 

LoL.

Cheap tools are what they are, inexpensive. Mastercraft has a lifetime warranty, you ever tried to get Snap-On to honor theirs? A Joke.

thats a double edged sword though, as a mechanic i personally buy the tools so i only have to buy them once, warranty or not i dont want to break a tool in the morning then be stuck without it all day. Home use i couldnt care less though haha

No, my box and compression tester are the only Snap-On tools I own. I would like a Snap-on wrench set though, or anything better than Mastercraft. Their wrenches flex too much. I need to go to more garage sales...

I just used a 13mm (Draper Expert I think) socket and a hammer for the 3 sided bolt, worked the very best for both disassembly and reassembly

I purchased my 'special tool' from prothe for 5 bucks Its just a nut with the center dremeled out into a triangle

I mauled a socket with my angle grinder.  I think it has  lifetime guarantee if I change my mind.
