VANOS Adjuster Socket 22mm 1/2in Drive for BMW B38 B48 B58

A VANOS adjuster socket made for installing and removing BMW VANOS adjusters on B38, B48 and B58 engines. The 22mm 16-point profile gives the correct fit for this specific job, where a standard socket may not engage properly.

Used for engine servicing, timing-related work and repair jobs where the VANOS adjuster needs to come apart cleanly. This suits workshop use, specialist BMW servicing and home maintenance for anyone carrying out the job with the proper tools and setup. When working in a tighter engine bay, having the correct BMW VANOS tool helps avoid the hassle of trying to adapt general sockets to a specialist fitting.

The socket has a 1/2in drive, so it pairs with common ratchets and breaker bars already found in many tool kits and workshops. Cr-Mo construction makes it suitable for repeated workshop use, especially on jobs where a strong, purpose-made socket is needed. Its application is matched to BMW B38, B48 and B58 engines, with BM reference number 2450487 supplied for checking. For regular servicing or engine repair work, using the proper fit can help make removal and installation more straightforward and reduce the chance of poor engagement on the adjuster.
