Hello,
Are dimensions for tool 9997248 still available (Roger_850T)?

Hi tombras,

The tool is still available to purchase if you prefer. Here is one place that has it for $22.18:

I think there are also European sources as well.

Here are the dimensions I have for the tool. (Not my photo, but I saved it for reference.)

Sadly rear bearing fails even in upgraded models.
Due to heat protective seal breaks overtime and bearing dries out.
Noticed this at around 340 000 km while changing timing chain for fun

This can be over come
I packed the area around the rear seal with grease by removing the rear knock sensor and squirting grease through the hole. As the motor warms, the grease melts and lubs the bearing. Pump in about 150 ml grease. To save the bearing this must be done at first sign of noise.
