M14 Spline Bit Socket Extension for Half-Shaft Service

Brief Overview

This is a specialized service tool designed specifically for removing VW and Audi half-shafts. The 800mm extension rod provides the reach necessary to access factory-installed M14 splined fasteners without disassembling suspension components. The 1/2-inch drive coupling integrates seamlessly into standard shop ratchet and breaker bar setups, making this an essential addition to your VAG-focused inventory. For shops handling multiple half-shaft applications, pairing this with compatible hex bit sockets ensures complete service capability.

Key Features

• M14 Spline Tip: Multi-lobe splined profile matches OEM VW/Audi half-shaft fasteners precisely, preventing cam-out and rounding
• 800mm Extension Length: Reaches half-shaft fasteners without suspension removal or component disassembly
• 1/2-Inch Drive Coupling: Standard square-drive socket interface for compatibility with ratchets, breaker bars, and impact tools
• Dark-Coated Steel Shaft: Hard-wearing finish resists corrosion and provides durability in wet service environments
• Straight, Rigid Design: Maintains alignment under load; resists flexing even with extended leverage applications
