Product Information

Used in a variety of application on European cars, features an integrated u-joint for easy access to tight spaces

Great for many European makes, e.g. BMW Brakes, Transmissions, etc. The u-joint design allows access in difficult areas. Features a 3/8 drive.

Socket

Tool sockets are essential for a do-it-yourselfer as they allow fast, efficient, and precise tightening or loosening of fasteners, especially in tight or hard-to-reach spaces. They provide better leverage when used with ratchets or impact tools, reduce the risk of rounding off bolt heads, and come in a variety of sizes and drive types to fit different vehicles and applications.

Socket Failure Symptoms
  • Rounding or stripping of the internal drive – The inside corners become worn, causing the socket to slip on fasteners.
  • Cracks or splits in the socket wall – Often from over-torquing or impact stress, making the socket unsafe to use.
  • Loss of grip on the drive tool – The square drive opening wears out or distorts, leading to a loose fit on the ratchet or impact wrench.

Good tool to have when replacing oil filter housing gasket on a BMW
A timesaver when replacing oil filter housing gasket on my BMW. Thanks FCP Euro for some very informative DIY videos!

Needed this socket for a weekend job, hard to find local so I got it while I ordered the parts needed. made my job easier having the correct socket versus trying to use an universal one that could end up striping the head of the bolts. Lifetime replacement if it fails at some point. Thanks FCP euro!!!

Nice socket but too large if wanting to use on oil filter housing bolt
Nice and reasonably priced socket. However, if trying to access the top rear bolt on the E90 oil filter housing it is too large to slip through or under the intake manifold runners. You will need a 1/4" drive socket and/or swivel. Having said that the 3/4" will come in handy for other bolts.

Too big for E9x oil filter housing gasket work
If you're purchasing this to do the oil filter housing gasket on your BMW then be aware that this is too big to get at the E10 bolt under the intake manifold. You're going to want a 1/4" drive socket for that. Otherwise this part is exactly as described.

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by a customer
Does this work on n54?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, but it's not necessarily needed for an N54 since the intake manifold has to be removed to get the back bolt for the oil filter housing.
Question Posted by a customer
Do you have this in 1/4 drive. 3/8 is too big for getting to the oil filter housing bolt.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
We do not have this available in a 1/4" drive at this time.
Question Posted by Owen
Is this good for removing the oil filter housing bolt on the bottom of the intake manifold? I'm trying to avoid pulling out the manifold. Thanks!
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, this should make removing the filter housing bolt under the intake manifold pretty straight forward. Highly recommended for N52 engines.
Question Posted by a customer
Can this be used to tighten my valve cover bolts?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Most of the valve cover bolts on the BMW N51/N52 engines are E8. This particular socket is most useful for removing the oil filter housing.
