Does anybody has this sliding hammer tool?
Or does anbody know if this is anywhere available. I am thinking of making a repro. Anyone tried this already? The most difficult thing seems to be the head piece which goes over the bolt head.
Thanks, Michael

Zelenda or Baum has it. Not cheap, but you have to value your time, too.

It's cheap when compared to the time involved in re-fitting the doors.

the head of the tool can be purchased separately and then you can use a generic long slide hammer used in body work made in China from Harbor Freight. I've seen that the head was available maybe Stoddard.
there is a thread on here somewhere./

I bought the genuine item through the dealer years ago, best $280 I ever spent!

Picked mine up from Porsche today at 246€. Took me 5 minutes then to remove the doors and I guess not much more time to refit them later. Invaluable tool indeed!

Bit late now and I don't want to sound rude but that price includes bit "Porsche-factor"... It took me maybe 5-10mins without that tool to remove/install doors (although I had special punches) but that tool will help of course, depends if pins are stubborn. Also that tool can be done quite easily and quickly from few pieces of flat bar + welder, and then mounted on generic slide hammer as said.

I tried with a punch several times, but after more than 40 years they really get stubborn.
As I have one now I can say that it will not be easy to fabricate this tool by your self. First you need a very special sliding hammer. It must be of dual action push and pull, of certain minimum overall length, certain push and pull length and it must be a heavy duty item, I guess the moving weight alone is about 5 Kilos. The head piece must be cut out of an iron block and hardened because the force of the hammer would bend any 'flat bar welded' fabricated head piece. I think the pins are hardened as well. But of course it is not cheap. The upper pin is quite easy to reach, but the lower is very difficult to reach, because it has to be driven out from below (with the hammer you pull from above).

Our local dealer can still get them, $266.00 retail.
