Special socket for IDI injection pumps by Henchman on 27 Oct, 2011 08:06

Hi,
What is the best source for the triangular socket needed to fully disassemble a Bosch IDI pump? Also, will this work on the early TDI pumps as well?
Thanks,
Ian -

I had a hard time sourcing out that tool! I ended up making one from a 10mm 6pt socket and a dremel. I can't recall where I saw the specs of the angles where you would need to grind out the material on the socket, but my homemade modified socket works like a charm!

It's 3 sided, equal angles between them. Easy to make with a socket and a grinding bit on a Dremel.

I saw that earlier, that is why I asked if the TDI and IDI bolts had the same head. Just checked with metalnerd and they say it won't work.
Prothe has em....

How about this one?

Little on the expensive side. I think I would grind out a snap on for that price. -

I agree to be careful what you buy from emiata
But a socket for a few dollars isn't going to leave you stranded somewhere
He has the socket that fits
Only a few bucks
Among the things I've bought from him - the exhaust clamp release tool (at manifold), sells for $45-$90 elsewhere. I paid like $15 from him for an identical one I paid about $75 elsewhere
Now I have 2, making it easier to install

Getting them to release is easy. Just use a pry bar from the top and the come off with a big "clang". Its getting them back on that is the trick. I finally made a copy of the factory tool and does it work well. It takes about a minute from picking up the clamp to being done.
