Description
Genuine Carlyle · Part no. S14E6
Carlyle's S14E6 fits E6 external star bolt heads, the raised six-lobed heads common on modern engines and gearboxes, particularly on German cars. It has a 1/4in square drive and a polished chrome finish, and is meant for hand tools in places where a small ratchet fits better than a bigger drive.
Good to know
- Will an ordinary six-point socket do instead? It may seem to go on, but a hex socket only bites the tips of the star and rounds them; the matching E socket grips all the lobes.
- What do I turn it with? Any 1/4in drive ratchet, extension, spinner handle or torque wrench; a bigger handle can be used through a drive adaptor.
- Why did an E bolt slip last time? Usually the socket was one size too big or not pushed fully on, so check the fit by hand before putting force on it.
Which one?
If the head is a little smaller, try the E5 (S14E5); a little bigger, the E7 (S14E7). The Carlyle 11 Piece External E Torx Socket Set E4 to E20 (CBSET11) has the whole run in one case.
