Laser Tools Exhaust Gas Sensor Socket - 1/2"D - 17mm - 8999

The Laser Tools 8999 socket is specifically designed to remove and install 17mm single hex exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensors found on various VW Group vehicles.

It is designed for VW Group vehicles that utilize a 17mm hex size for their EGT sensors. It's always recommended to confirm the sensor size on your specific vehicle.

This socket can be driven by a 1/2" drive ratchet, breaker bar, or torque wrench, and it can also be used with a 24mm external spanner.

The socket has a short series design with a length of 67mm, which aids in accessing sensors in confined spaces.

It is manufactured from chrome molybdenum steel, known for its strength and durability, and features a black phosphate finish for corrosion resistance.

No, this socket is specifically for 17mm hex sensors. Laser Tools offers other part numbers for different sensor sizes (e.g., 14mm, 19mm, 22mm, 24mm).

After use, clean the socket and store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Inspect for damage before each use.

Verify that the EGT sensor on your vehicle is indeed a 17mm hex size. This socket is specifically for 17mm sensors. Check for alternative sizes offered by Laser Tools (e.g., 14mm, 19mm, 22mm, 24mm).

Utilize the 24mm spanner option if a 1/2" drive ratchet cannot be accommodated. Ensure the spanner is fully seated on the socket.

Apply a penetrating oil to the sensor threads and allow it to soak. Use a breaker bar with the 1/2" drive for increased leverage, but be cautious not to break the sensor or stud.

Inspect the socket for signs of wear, cracking, or deformation. If damaged, discontinue use and replace the tool to prevent further damage to the sensor or injury.
