All I know is when I split the case, I put it back together using the regular e-torx socket and allen head socket.

same here.


Doesn't mean thatin some manual it list a special tool. Just like the special Ecotec timing tool that was like $300, but you really do not need.

its a holder, kindof a jig, it only if you need help aligning the gears, it you really take it apart to replace say 3rd gear. if you are just splitting the case to do a limited slip, its not a big deal not having it. another part olds the gears so that when you tighten the torx you can get a good torgue reading.

you do need the new seals though

Yeah, I used the tool when replacing 3rd and 5th gears in a getrag. You dont need it when replacing the diff, but once you take the whole unit apart, it makes things a hell of alot easier.
