FAQs
What is the primary use for this brake caliper socket?
This socket is designed for removing and installing specific 22mm brake caliper bolts, commonly found on certain German vehicles like the Audi S5.
What drive size is required for this socket?
The socket requires a 1/2 inch drive tool, such as a ratchet or breaker bar.
What makes the 7-point profile beneficial?
The 7-point profile provides a more secure and positive grip on the bolt head compared to a standard 6-point socket, reducing the risk of slippage and damage.
Is this socket suitable for all vehicles?
No, this is a specialized socket with a 22mm size and 7-point profile, primarily intended for specific applications like the Audi S5. Always check compatibility for your specific vehicle.
What is the material and finish of the socket?
It is manufactured from Chrome Molybdenum steel with a black phosphate finish for durability and corrosion resistance.
Can this socket be used with a torque wrench?
Yes, as it has a 1/2" drive, it can be used with a 1/2" drive torque wrench to ensure bolts are tightened to the correct specifications.
Where can I find other brake caliper tools from Laser Tools?
This socket is part of a larger set for German vehicles; refer to Laser Part No. 8237 for related tools.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit the bolt securely.
Ensure you are using the correct 22mm socket for a 22mm bolt. Verify the bolt head is not damaged or deformed. This socket is specialized; confirm vehicle compatibility if unsure.
Socket slips on the bolt head.
Check that the 7-point profile is fully engaged with the bolt head. Ensure the bolt head is clean and free from excessive grease or dirt. If the bolt head is rounded, this socket may not be sufficient, and bolt extraction tools might be needed.
Difficulty applying sufficient torque.
Ensure you are using an appropriate 1/2" drive tool (e.g., breaker bar) with adequate leverage. Confirm the socket is fully seated on the bolt.
