What size drive do I need for these sockets?

These sockets are designed for use with a 1/2" square drive tool, such as a ratchet or breaker bar.

Troubleshooting

Socket does not fit the locking wheel nut properly.

Verify that the vehicle is a VAG model and that you are using the correct size socket from the set. This set is specifically for VAG locking nuts.

Socket appears to be rounding the locking wheel nut.

Ensure the socket is fully seated on the nut. Apply steady, even pressure. If the nut is severely damaged, professional removal may be required.

Tool feels loose in the socket's drive.**

Check that your 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar is compatible and fully inserted into the socket's square drive.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
