Carlyle 2 Piece Spline Bit Set M14 x 30mm Ford Bell Housing (CBS14M)

Description

Carlyle · Part no. CBS14M

Carlyle's CBS14M is a 2 piece set of M14 x 30mm spline bits made for the bell housing bolts on Ford gearboxes, the bolts that join the gearbox to the engine. Made from chrome vanadium, the short bits can be turned with a spanner where there is no room for a ratchet and socket between the gearbox and the bulkhead.

Good to know

• Is a spline bolt the same as Torx? No: a spline head has 12 sharp points, while Torx has six rounded lobes, and a Torx bit in a spline head will slip and round it off, so look closely at the bolt first.
• How do I avoid stripping a tight bolt? Clean dirt out of the head, tap the bit fully home, keep it square to the bolt, and use steady force rather than jerking the spanner.
• Will it fit my Ford? It is made for Ford bell housings that use M14 spline bolts; check the bolt heads on your gearbox, or the workshop manual, before starting the job.

Which one?

If you are draining the gearbox on the same job, the Carlyle 6 Piece Drain Key Set Double End (CUDPKS) covers engine, gearbox and back axle drain plugs.
