991 GT3 centre lock tried/recommended wheel removal tools
Discussion
I don't have a 991 but a 997 GTS with centre locks.....which I believe has the same fitment.
I can recommend the sealey torque multiplier AK629 along with a torque wrench of your choice.... only needs to be 200-300Nm max. So quite small for package purposes.
Both fit into the front trunk with ease, or in the cabin if preferred. I carry these on any road trip (even though I currently have Porsche assist) to ensure I could remove a wheel if needed at any location. Most garages won't have a torque wrench suitable for the job.
The multiplier works on a 1:3.3 ratio, so you just dial in 1/3 of the required torque to achieve the required output torque.
Input 165Nm to achieve 550Nm output. Or 180Nm to achieve 600Nm output (if you are using on track). These are the values I have been given for my 997, worth checking values for your vehicle if you don't already know. The handbook I have states circa 500Nm which I think has been superseded.
Useful to also carry a piece of 3/4" ply board to distribute the load if you happen to need to remove a wheel on soft ground. The multiplier reacts to the ground and will dig in if soft.
It's both a more flexible option to use in the garage or elsewhere but also less heavy on the wallet.
Hope this helps a little

Multipliers not recommended as there is a fair degree of inaccuracy picked up through the multiplier.
Torque wrench needs to be good for at least 800nm so that you are not operating at the upper end of the torque wrench. It should be noted this torque wrench will fit in the car i.e. heading to the track etc.
This is a 800 nm 3/4" drive Sealey STW706, I use a collapsable breaker bar Sealey AK 7317, albumiunm jacking plugs (eBay) and a guide I purchased from a manufacturer on Renlist USA. This is a must if you have ceramic brakes.
You will also require the correct lubricant for the CL

I have a Rennline Centrelock removal tool, which is excellent:

I also have a 3/4 torque wrench and a snap on 3/4 breaker bar.
Also buy plenty of the grease, but beware the stuff sticks to your clothes and is very easy to transfer in to your car.
