What is the size of the socket?

The socket is 28mm in size and features a bi-hex (12-point) design.

What drive size does it require?

It requires a 1/2" drive ratchet, extension, or breaker bar.

What is the benefit of the access window?

The access window allows the socket to easily slide over the injector, making it simpler to position and use.

What material is the socket made from?

The socket is manufactured from durable Chrome Vanadium steel.

Can this socket be used on other brands of HGVs?

While it might fit if the dimensions match, it is specifically engineered and tested for Scania and Volvo HGVs. Use on other makes is not guaranteed.

How should I clean and maintain the socket?

Clean with a dry cloth or degreaser after use and store in a dry place to prevent rust. Inspect for damage before each use.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit over injector.

Verify you are working on a compatible Scania or Volvo HGV model and that the injector nut is indeed 28mm. Ensure the access window is clear of obstructions.

Socket slips on the injector nut.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the nut. Check that the nut itself is not damaged or rounded. Clean both the socket interior and the nut.

Difficulty applying torque.

Confirm you are using a robust 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar. Ensure the socket is properly engaged with the nut.
