Multi-Tooth Socket for Injection Pump Removal and Assembly

Brief Overview

This is a precision-engineered multi-tooth socket designed specifically for removing and installing pressure valve holders on Mercedes-Benz diesel injection pumps. The 33-angle internal spline profile engages the pump shaft with mechanical certainty, eliminating the risk of slippage during critical engine work. As a critical component in your diesel service lineup, this socket pairs naturally with complementary tools like a diesel injection pump timing setup device and specialized injector removal equipment to provide your customers with a complete, professional injection system service capability.

Key Features

• 33-Angle Multi-Tooth Internal Profile: Fine, evenly-spaced splines provide superior engagement with pump shaft geometry, preventing cam-out and ensuring secure grip during removal and reassembly.
• 18mm Internal Diameter: Precisely engineered to match Mercedes-Benz pump specifications—no guessing, no risk of damage.
• Chrome-Vanadium Construction: Hardened CR-V material resists wear from repeated use and provides excellent durability in high-pressure diesel environments.
• 56mm Length: Compact design allows access to tight engine bay configurations while maintaining sufficient leverage for controlled torque application.
• Four-Lobed Drive Interface: Standard ratchet square connection ensures compatibility with your existing workshop equipment.
• Knurled Grip Band: Provides tactile control during precise installation work, reducing hand fatigue on detailed pump assembly tasks.
• Polished Chrome Finish: Protects against corrosion in humid or salt-air environments and simplifies cleaning between jobs.

Business Advantages for Resellers

Targeted Market Appeal: Mercedes-Benz diesel owners represent a loyal, maintenance-conscious segment. Injection pump service is a high-value repair with strong customer willingness to pay for proper tooling—this socket commands premium labor rates and ensures customer confidence.

Operational Margin: Specialized Mercedes service tools generate higher per-unit margins than generic sockets. Position this alongside your diesel service packages to increase transaction value.

Reduced Liability: Proper, purpose-built tooling eliminates stripped pump housings and botched reassemblies—protecting your reputation and reducing warranty claims. This is professional-grade insurance.

Stock Efficiency: A single socket handles multiple Mercedes models across the 601–617 range, reducing SKU complexity while covering a broad customer base.

Repeat Revenue: Injection pump work is not a one-time repair. Customers servicing these vehicles regularly will need access to specialized tools, creating recurring business opportunities.

Why This Socket Matters

Injection pump pressure valve holder work demands precision. Off-the-shelf sockets lack the 33-angle multi-tooth engagement required for safe, damage-free removal and reinstallation. Using the wrong tool risks:

• Stripping the pump shaft (expensive engine replacement)
• Cross-threading the valve holder (customer dissatisfaction and liability)
• Misalignment during reassembly (fuel injection timing failures and drivability issues)

This socket eliminates those risks and signals to your customers that you invest in the correct tools for the job.

Call to Value

For shops servicing Mercedes-Benz diesel vehicles, this socket is not optional—it's the difference between professional-grade work and guesswork. Stock this alongside your injection system tools and position your shop as the trusted specialist for diesel engine service in your market.
