Description

Shock Compression Adjuster Removal Tool Socket YZ

Brief Overview

This is a precision removal socket designed specifically for YZ-series shock compression adjusters. The three-lug internal design engages the adjuster locknut with positive contact, preventing slippage during removal. The knurled cylindrical body provides secure hand control, while the square female drive accepts standard ratchets and extensions for controlled extraction. If you service multiple shock types, consider pairing this with our other shock adjuster socket sizes to cover a full range of models.

Key Features

  • Three internal lugs – Positive engagement with YZ shock compression adjuster locknut
  • Diamond knurled grip – Textured mid-body band ensures secure hand control without slipping
  • Square female drive – Compatible with standard 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch ratchet extensions
  • Bright plated finish – Corrosion-resistant silver plating for longevity in shop environments
  • Compact design – Lightweight and maneuverable in tight rear-end spaces
  • Pre-removal preparation required – Punch marks at threads must be drilled 1 mm deep before use

Business Advantages for Resellers

This is an essential socket for any shop specializing in YZ dirt bike and off-road suspension work. The tool addresses a specific market gap—rear shock service on Japanese sport bikes requires this exact geometry, making it a high-demand SKU with strong turnover potential. Low inventory footprint, high margin opportunity, and genuine technical necessity drive consistent repeat orders from suspension technicians and independent bike shops.

Installation & Use Notes

This socket is purpose-built for controlled removal of the shock compression adjuster locknut. The three lugs must align precisely with the adjuster geometry—incorrect sizing will result in cam-out and potential damage to the adjuster itself. Always prepare the punch marks as specified before attempting removal to ensure clean extraction and prevent tool slippage.
