Description

Lever Tool for BMW N51/N52 Pressure Spring Removal and Installation

Brief Overview

This is a purpose-built lever tool designed specifically for removing and installing the pressure spring on BMW N51 and N52 engines. The tool combines a long blue anodized tubular handle with an articulated multi-piece head assembly and integrated locking pliers, allowing technicians to apply precise controlled force in tight engine compartment spaces. Pair this with BMW camshaft and crankshaft locking solutions to complete a full timing and valve train service toolkit.

Key Features

  • Integrated Vise-Grip Design: Silver locking pliers clamped into the articulated head assembly provide adjustable clamping force and secure grip on the pressure spring
  • Articulated Head Assembly: Multi-piece black linkage with pivot pins and alignment tabs enables the tool to work at multiple angles within confined engine compartments
  • Long Tubular Handle: Blue anodized 55.2mm diameter tubular shaft with knurled grip end for ergonomic control and torque application
  • Adjustment Mechanism: Pliers feature adjustable clamping screw and release lever for precise grip tension control
  • Precision Engineering: Molded plastic and machined metal components with guide blocks and hinge joints ensure repeatable accuracy during service operations
