Centre lock wheels / gt3 mobile tyre fitting
Discussion
Chances of a tyres fitter having having the right torque wrench are close to zero.....there’s a thread on here where someone mentioned the tools you can order from the US which is the best thing to do in a circumstance like yours. I need to order some myself as intend to do some European road trips next year.
Always a worry, this. I have had two centre locks and not carrying some massive torque wrench. Even if i did, no spare anyway.
Further Porsche requires a flatbed to recover the car (at least in Canada()
Only answer for me is Porsche roadside assistance though have not had the problem yet.

For the fitting / removal of Centre Lock wheels I would try a Sealey Tools Torque Multiplier Model No AK629 which gives a reduction of 1:3.3 I have used this successfully on tyre changes, wheel removal (with non Porsche garages) for some 6years with 100% success. The Multiplier fits onto the Porsche supplied nut adaptor & you fit a standard Torque wrench into the Multiplier say Sealey Tools No Ak624 or similar. For wheel fitting on the 991 GT3 torque setting of 600Nm the wrench is set at 182 Nm. Reverse the Multiplier for wheel removal. My fitter uses a long handle fixed wrench when undoing the nut.

On your recommendation I did a quick search on Ebay, the cheapest i could find was 193 quid but there was a seller that advertised one at 210 and then had a 20% off code. when applied it dropped the price to 168 quidBargain
