Description
Prevent shock absorber piston stems from rotating when trying to loosen retaining nuts and hold them still during installation so seals aren’t damaged with the STEELMAN PRO 78571 6mm Double-D Shock Absorber Piston Stem Stabilizing Socket Bit. Made from hardened chrome vanadium (CR-V) steel for superior durability, this 6mm socket bit features a unique flattened oval or double-d (DD) end design that fits snugly onto the top of shock absorber pistons to hold them still when working on mounting fasteners. The outside of the bit features a 10mm hex allowing easy operation by a socket and ratchet or closed box and open ended combination hand wrenches. The tool measures just over 3.5-inches in length to give you the reach needed to go through pass through sockets easily and access piston stems. Size markings and callouts are permanently laser etched into the metal for easy identification and will not rub off or wear away with use. Designed for use on suspension piston stems on shock absorbers used in Volkswagen (VW), Audi, and Renault vehicles.
