Spline tool for drive shaft.

[Maximilian]

Anyone know what size or have a link to the proper size spline tool to hold the drive shaft for impeller removal on a 2017 242x E? Thanks!

Here is one simple way to set up impeller removal DIY edition:

You need the spline tool - to hold that end of the splined shaft in a LARGE vice, and a really big cheater bar. Keep in mind this is a left handed thread, you will be pushing down on an impeller wrench while standing in front of a set up like this:

It was @CrankyGypsy who invented the "method" of holding a vice with a Jeep.
Ill try to find the tool part #.

You need a LOT of leverage. I broke a 4in. vise removing a stubborn one. The vise just split open. If it seems overly tight...applying some heat with a heat gun and penetrating oil will help. I use a 5 ft PVC pipe as leverage and it has a LOT of power.
