25mm socket uses?

[90zcar]

So looking at my socket rail. I have over the last year filled in the 23mm and 20mm spot with a deep well sockets for swelled 22 and 19 size lugs.
I still don't have a 25mm socket and never needed one yet. I know it's close to 1" in size. So besides the normal smart *** comment of "a 25mm nut!" Remark.....what all have you worked on that requires a 25mm socket

The hansen socket rails are kinda infamous for having spots for sockets that most people dont have, and will likely never use. But because you have a missing peg, people want to fill it!

A 25mm bolt?

I hear you though I own a 25mm and have never used it

Cam pulley bolts on Cosworth YBT engine.

I have been able to get by with a 25mm wrench, socket wasn't required. My use is an elevator bolt (leveling feet) used in most of the cabinets I design.

In theory you should never find that size OE on a modern era vehicle. It's not standardized by the ISO, ANSI, DIN or JIS institutes.

Been there, decided not to spend the money on a socket I'll never use (hint: use a 1" instead). 25's on socket organizers are just as annoying as 20's. File it off and use the peg to hold an extension or u-joint or a duplicate size in 6/12 point or something.

25mm fits very tightly on 1 inch fasteners. That's what I use mine for.

I want to say a Volvo mechanic told me the oil drain bolt on a Volvo 240 is actually 25mm and not 1", even though everyone just uses a 1" socket.

Looks like I need a 1" impact socket then

12 point 20mm is the size of the large/ upper idler gear center bolt on dt466 engines. Never needed a 6 point 20, or 25mm yet

Yup, Volvo engine oil drain. I think it is on most all of the engines.

What we have in the middle of the picture is a 20, 25, 26, 28, 29 & 31mm

I don't think I've ever used any of them. [emoji55]

In 1987 I purchased a 25mm socket just for the drain plug on our 84 Volvo (245) GL wagon. I still have it somewhere!

I was curious why my Wright 1/2 drive short 6 Pt impact socket set skipped 25 and 26...it goes from 10-24+27...This place is a wealth of info...

It works good on 25mm nuts and bolts.

K&N wrench off filters have a 1"/25mm nut welded to the canister.
Some RC cars use 25mm wheel nuts.

I use it for another size. Like my 9mm peg. It gets a 12 pt 10mm socket and the 10mm peg gets a 6 pt 10mm socket.

The Hansen trays strike again!!!

There have been many posts about people searching for the odd sized sockets needed only to fill a peg. OCD at it's finest.

Good to know about the Volvo drain plug though.

Like those Facom socket size markings in the bottom of the socket. not sure how long they'd last with use though.

 

[brandonmoore223]

If ibremember correctly the 2014 dodge 1500 oil filters canisters have a 25mm nut molded on top

 

[90zcar]

Hmmm that would explain the odd size 25mm oil canister socket wrench I have in my car

No need to worry... They are made of a very tough flexible plastic.
I have been using them for 8 years now, which is probably 1 years worth
of pro shop work, and they are still perfect.

Completely oil, grease, trans fluid and brake clean proof... Brilliant things.

Until you get the accessory oil temperature gauge, then the plug is replaced with a sensor/plug combo that uses a 22 mm wrench.

And since the threads on the Volvo drain plug are really 3/4"-16, the proper wrench size probably really is 1".

99 ford diesel filter. weird but its a 25mm
