Strut Nut Tool Set – Professional Hub Fastener Removal
Brief Overview
This two-socket strut nut tool set delivers the precision and control required for safe, damage-free removal and installation of strut nuts secured in vehicle hubs. The hardened tool-steel drivers engage fasteners with exacting fit, preventing hub damage during high-torque operations. If your shop handles suspension work across multiple vehicle platforms, this set addresses a critical gap in your fastener toolkit. Consider pairing it with complementary steering and suspension tools like steering rack adjustment sockets or steering stem fastener removers to build a comprehensive suspension service capacity.
Key Features
- Two precision-matched sockets – 5x7x60mm and 5.5x8.2x48mm configurations for varied hub fastener geometries
- 1/2" drive compatibility – Integrates seamlessly with standard shop impact wrenches and torque wrenches
- Hardened tool-steel drivers – Engineered to resist deformation and prevent cam-out against strut nuts
- Chrome-plated finish – Resists corrosion in humid shop environments
- Knurled grip band – Provides tactile control when hand-seating or aligning fasteners
- OEM application coverage – Engineered for Audi, BMW, Citroën, Ford, Peugeot, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Volkswagen, and most Japanese passenger vehicles

Why This Matters for Your Business
Strut nut fasteners are notoriously prone to rounding when approached with standard sockets or pliers. Once rounded, hub replacement becomes unavoidable—a catastrophic cost escalation for your customer and a liability risk for your shop. This tool eliminates that risk entirely, protecting both margins (on repeat service) and reputation (fewer comebacks).
