Ball Joint Mounting Tool Set - Laser 8459

This set is designed for Mercedes-Benz C Class (2015-2021), E Class (2015-2021), GL (2016-2021), and AMG GT (2019-2021) models equipped with double wishbone suspension.

The 32mm socket is for loosening or tightening the upper ball joint nut, while the 38mm socket is for the lower ball joint nut on compatible vehicles.

Bi-Hex refers to a 12-point socket design, which offers more contact points and a stronger grip on fasteners compared to a standard 6-point socket, reducing the risk of slippage and cam-out.

Yes, you will need a 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar to use with the sockets.

No, this tool set is specifically engineered for the listed Mercedes-Benz models and their specific ball joint nut sizes and designs. It is not intended for use on other makes or models.

After use, clean the sockets with a dry cloth to remove debris. Store them in a dry place to prevent rust. A tool organizer or the original packaging is recommended for safe storage.

The sockets are manufactured from durable S45C steel with a protective black phosphate finish.

Verify that you are using the correct socket size (32mm for upper, 38mm for lower) for your specific Mercedes-Benz model and year. Ensure the vehicle is within the compatible range specified.

Ensure the socket is fully seated onto the nut. Check that the nut itself is not excessively worn or rounded. The Bi-Hex design offers superior grip, but extremely damaged fasteners may still present challenges.

Use a 1/2" drive breaker bar or ratchet with adequate length for leverage. Ensure the connection between the socket and the drive tool is secure.

Clean the tool thoroughly with a rust remover or a wire brush. Dry completely and apply a light coat of oil to prevent further corrosion. Store in a dry location.
