FAQs

What vehicles is this socket designed for?

This socket is specifically designed for clutch pressure plate bolts on certain Mitsubishi models (3000GT, Stealth VR-4, Galant VR-4) and Dodge Chrysler vehicles.

What is the benefit of a 10-point socket?

A 10-point socket offers more contact points with the fastener than a standard 6-point socket, providing a more secure grip and reducing the risk of slippage and fastener damage, especially in tight spaces.

What drive size does this socket have?

It has a standard 3/8" drive size, compatible with most common ratchets and torque wrenches.

What material is the socket made of?

The socket is manufactured from durable chrome vanadium steel, known for its strength and resistance to wear and corrosion.

How long is the socket?

The socket measures 30mm in length.

Can I use this socket for other applications?

While it is a 12mm, 10-point socket, its primary design and intended use are for specific clutch pressure plate bolts. Using it for other applications may not be optimal or safe.

How should I clean and store this socket?

Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion. A toolbox or organizer is ideal.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit the bolt head

Verify that you are working on a compatible vehicle model and that the bolt is indeed a 12mm, 10-point type. This socket is specific to certain clutch pressure plate bolts.

Socket slips on the bolt head

Ensure the bolt head is clean and free of debris. Check that the socket is fully seated on the bolt head. If the bolt head is already damaged, this socket may not provide sufficient grip.

Socket appears damaged or worn

Inspect the socket for cracks, excessive wear, or deformation. If damaged, discontinue use to avoid further damage to fasteners or tools. Replace the socket if necessary.
