Technically, no, but after breaking it free by hand, I use an impact to break it free.

This tool is required to access four torx head bolts on the rear wheel bearing. The tool's length, combined with a shaft thin enough to pass through the abs tone ring, accomplishes the task. I removed the press-fitting to give myself more room to work with the tool. fit into the socket The hexagonal portion of the tool shaft that became exposed as a result of said socket removal can be used with standard mechanical tools. There is enough room with the socket in place if the repair is done while the vehicle, in this case a Ford Edge from 2009, is elevated on a car lift. I had to do the repair on the garage floor, using a jack stand, because there was no room for a 250 in the garage. long. To "swing," use a torque wrench. The coil springs were easier to clear after the socket was removed. Since 2008/2009, the torx head bolts have been in place. 10 years. I was concerned that loosening the bolts would cause the slender shaft or torx "teeth" to twist or break. I was worried that the tool teeth might break because there isn't much contact area at the male tool/female torx bolt interface. Nope. The bolts are torqued to 85 ft-lbs when they are first installed. lbs. Corrosion has been present for ten years. It took a lot more than 85 feet to get to the top. lbs. To loosen the bolts, you'll need a lot of force. I didn't use an impact gun, so the tool held up well. I was concerned that this would cause the tool to malfunction. I made use of my strength. It's likely that an impact gun would have been more effective. It's a high-end tool. Metallurgy that is of high quality. It comes highly recommended from me.

This is one of those tolls that you must pay a lot of money for and will almost certainly never use again. However, I appreciate the tool's build quality, and it performed admirably in removing and torqueing the flywheel bolts. You must have the necessary tools in order to complete the task. However, I despise having to buy specialized equipment like this. Why couldn't they just use a regular head or have it designed so that the bolt could be removed with a shorter torque socket and an extension? That would have been nice, but I gave it five stars because the construction quality is excellent.
For the price, this is a fantastic tool that is well-made and finished. If only the rear Ford hubs and the tool used to work on them were designed as well.
I recommend it to anyone who works on Fords frequently.
Regardless, the tool was excellent, appearing to be of high quality, and capable of being used repeatedly. br>However, this is not a job I intend to do again!.
My E39 540i's flywheel was removed using this tool. It worked flawlessly and without a hitch. A much less expensive alternative to the original BMW, costing roughly half as much.
This is an excellent resource. On early Ford Edges, use it to replace the rear wheel bearing bolts.
It's made of steel and works flawlessly.
