BMW Engine Locking Tool Set for N40/N45 Series – Camshaft & Crankshaft Timing Lock Kit

Brief Overview

This specialized locking tool set is engineered for timing control on BMW N40 and N45 engine variants, including the turbocharged N45T(B16). It's an essential addition to any shop servicing early 2000s BMW compact models. If your customers require work on similar BMW powerplants, complementary options like the N46/N42 timing lock system and the diesel-specific N47/N47S locking kit expand your service capabilities across BMW's broader engine lineup.

The set comprises five precision components housed in a durable blue hard plastic case:

• Aluminum Crossbar Assembly: Silver anodized aluminum bar with dual threaded studs and mounting points for secure fixture attachment
• Threaded Puller Bolt: Heavy-duty black center press bolt with flanged collar for controlled pressure application
• U-Shaped Clamp Brackets: Two cast iron brackets with different profiles to accommodate various camshaft and crankshaft locking positions
• Locating Pin: Gold-finished L-shaped alignment pin for precise component positioning
• Hardware: Assorted fasteners for secure assembly

The carrying case features an integrated handle and snap latches for job-site portability and shop organization.
