Perfect tool for the CDTI awkward Air Box screw!

This is almost a 'for sale' post, but seeing as it comes with a story I've put it here.

When I first serviced my CDTI I couldn't believe how difficult the 2 rear bolts are to get to on the air box.

"Nevermind", I thought - I've got a 5mm hex socket in my socket set. But AAHHH, it doesn't fit in the groove where the bolt is.

So there I was, hand squeezed down the back clinging on to an allen key doing micro-turns for 15 minutes.

So I went on the hunt for a long 5mm hex tool, and here we go...

Both tools reach the back screw with ease, and being ball-hex ends, there's a bit of movement in the head.

If you would like the 170mm long allen key it'll be £1.50 posted.

The 5mm red handled drivers are £3.50 posted.

If you would like one, PM me with your paypal email address and I'll send you an invoice.
