1/2" Drive Oil Filler Nut Remover

This specialist oil filler nut remover tool is designed to make removing and refitting the large union nut that secures the oil filler to the generator stand on aircooled VW Type 1 engines quick and straightforward. Suitable for 1200cc to 1600cc engines, this tool is an essential addition for anyone carrying out engine maintenance or restoration work.

The oil filler union nut can often be difficult to remove due to its size, position, and years of being exposed to heat and oil. Standard tools can slip or damage the nut, but this purpose-built tool fits securely over the union nut, allowing controlled removal using a 1/2″ drive ratchet or breaker bar. This ensures even torque is applied without rounding or damaging the nut.

Whether you`re replacing oil filler seals, removing the generator stand, or carrying out engine work, this tool simplifies the process and reduces the risk of damage to surrounding components. It also ensures correct refitting, allowing the nut to be tightened evenly and securely.

Ideal for both professional workshops and home mechanics, this tool makes a previously awkward job quick, safe, and repeatable.
