Impact Spline Sockets 1/2" GEKO G10515 M14–M18 for VW hub (20 pieces)

Set of 20 GEKO impact spline sockets with 1/2" drive, sizes M14–M18 designed for use on VW hubs. These spline sockets are intended for use with impact wrenches and match the spline contact pattern commonly found on wheel hub fasteners of Volkswagen vehicles. The set covers a range of metric spline sizes used in hub removal, installation and related maintenance tasks in professional workshops and home garages.

Advantages

Impact-rated construction provides resistance to shock and repeated torque from pneumatic or electric impact tools. The 1/2" drive size offers compatibility with a wide range of impact wrenches and ratchet extensions. A complete set of spline sizes M14 through M18 reduces the need to search for individual sockets when working on VW hubs. Hardened and heat-treated steel sockets maintain shape under heavy loads and ensure reliable engagement with spline fasteners.

Suitable for

• Removing and installing wheel hub fasteners on Volkswagen vehicles
• Automotive repair and service workshops
• Use with pneumatic or electric impact wrenches and torque tools
• General hub maintenance, bearing replacement and suspension work

Key specifications

• Drive size: 1/2" suitable for standard impact wrenches
• Socket type: spline (multi-lobed contact pattern) for spline fasteners
• Size range: metric M14, M15, M16, M17, M18 (20 pieces covering common spline variants)
• Material treatment: hardened and heat-treated steel for impact use
• Intended use: designed for impact wrench applications

How to use

Select the socket that correctly fits the spline pattern and metric size of the hub fastener. Mount the socket onto a compatible 1/2" drive impact wrench or an adapter for the intended tool. Position the socket fully over the fastener, ensure proper seating, and operate the impact wrench following the tool manufacturer's safety and operational instructions. When loosening, apply controlled bursts to avoid sudden component movement; when tightening, use a calibrated torque tool as required to achieve the manufacturer's specified torque.

Usage recommendations

Inspect sockets before use for signs of wear, cracking or rounding. Use impact-rated sockets only with impact tools; do not use them on ordinary hand torqueing where a non-impact socket is specified for final torque. Store the set in a dry place and keep sockets clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion. For final torque on wheel hub fasteners, always use a torque wrench and follow vehicle manufacturer specifications.
