This versatile set simplifies the removal of gearbox, rear axle, and engine sump plugs, as well as specific brake caliper bolts, offering a professional solution for fluid changes.

Troubleshooting
The tool feels loose inside the sump plug.
Verify that you have selected the correct size and that there is no debris or hardened sludge inside the plug head preventing full engagement.
The drain plug is seized and will not turn.
Apply a penetrating oil to the threads and allow it to soak for 15 minutes. Use a 19mm wrench with a longer handle for increased leverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the TE168 set, select the appropriate key size that matches your vehicle's drain plug. Attach a 19mm spanner or socket to the drive end of the tool. Ensure the tool is fully seated in the plug to prevent rounding the edges of the bolt head. After each use, wipe the tools down with a clean, oily rag to prevent corrosion. Store the keys in their designated slots in the plastic case and keep the case in a dry, cool location to prolong the lifespan of both the tools and the storage container.
