Product Information

Full details

This 27mm Thin Wall Injector Socket by Loops is designed for automotive professionals and serious DIYers who need a specialized tool for removing and installing diesel injectors. Its key benefit is the thin wall design and deep reach, which allows access in tight spaces where standard sockets won't fit. A potential caveat is its specific size, making it unsuitable for non-27mm injectors. The socket features a robust Chrome Vanadium steel construction, a 1/2" square drive, and an 80mm depth, ensuring durability and precise fitment for a variety of vehicle makes.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this thin wall socket?

Its primary purpose is to remove and install diesel injectors in tight engine compartments where standard-sized sockets would not fit due to their thick walls.

What vehicles is this socket compatible with?

It is compatible with a range of vehicles including Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Vauxhall/Opel, VW, and other light and commercial vehicles that use 27mm diesel injectors.

What size drive do I need to use this socket?

You need a 1/2" square drive ratchet or torque wrench to use this socket.

What is the depth of the socket?

The socket has a deep reach of 80mm.

Is this socket suitable for gasoline engine injectors?

No, this socket is specifically designed for diesel injectors with an M24 thread size. It is not intended for gasoline injectors.

What material is the socket made from?

It is crafted from heat-treated Chrome Vanadium steel with a high-chrome coating for durability and corrosion resistance.

Can I use an impact wrench with this socket?

It is recommended to use a standard 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench for controlled application of force. Using impact wrenches is not recommended as it may damage the socket or the injector.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit injector nut.

Verify that the injector nut is indeed 27mm. This socket is specifically sized and will not fit other sizes.

Socket feels loose on the injector nut.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the nut. If the nut is damaged or excessively worn, it may require replacement. Always use steady, even pressure.

Difficulty applying torque.

Confirm you are using a suitable 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar. Ensure the surrounding engine components are not obstructing the tool's movement.

Socket shows signs of wear or corrosion.

Clean the socket thoroughly and store it in a dry place. For minor surface rust, a light application of penetrating oil can help, followed by cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Requires a 1/2" drive ratchet, which must be purchased separately if not already owned.
  • Thin wall design might be less robust than standard sockets under extreme torque, though made from strong steel.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible 1/2" drive ratchet or torque wrench.
  2. Identify the 27mm injector nut on the vehicle's diesel injector.
  3. Slide the socket over the injector nut, ensuring it is fully seated.

Care:
