Corvette Pinion Socket 85mm 6-Point 97-13 C5 C6

Corvette Pinion Socket 85mm 6-Point — Exclusive TDP Product If you’ve purchased our TDP billet pinion nut for your C5 or C6 Corvette, this is the socket engineered specifically to install and remove it. An 85mm socket is an uncommon metric size that most tool suppliers simply don’t carry — and the ones that do charge a significant premium. Our TDP-manufactured socket solves that problem at a fraction of the cost. What makes the TDP 85mm socket different Most large metric sockets share four problems that make them less than ideal for this application. They are unnecessarily deep — our socket is extremely shallow by design, maximizing torque transfer and making installation and removal quick and efficient. Most large sockets have tapered inner walls, introducing excessive clearance between the socket and nut. This allows the socket to rock under load, rounding the nut edges over time. Our socket has straight inner walls with no taper — a precise, flush fit that protects the nut and transfers torque cleanly. Most sockets in this size range require a 3/4″ or 1″ drive. Ours uses the standard 1/2″ drive, compatible with virtually every torque wrench already in your shop. Pricing: Third-party 85mm sockets typically run $300–$500. Our TDP socket is $200 — the most economical option available without compromising precision or quality.
