Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This tool is specifically designed for BMW models including the 5 Series (1996-2017), X5 (1999-2015), and 7 Series (1994-2015). Ensure your vehicle's chassis code is listed within the supported range (E38, E39, E53, E60, E61, E63, E64, E65, E66, E67, E70, F01, F02, F04, F07, F10, F11 & F18) before use.
Setup: Before the first use and periodically thereafter, lubricate the force screw with molybdenum disulphide grease. This is crucial for smooth operation and longevity of the tool. The tool operates using a 24mm flexi-head ratchet ring spanner (Part No. 5753), which must be used to drive the force screw.
Care: After each use, clean the tool thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Store the kit in its original packaging or a suitable protective case to prevent damage and loss of components. Inspect the force screw and threads regularly for wear or damage. Reapply lubricant as needed, especially if the tool feels stiff or difficult to turn.
