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.
