Tool and Measuring Instrument
Basics
Automotive repairs require the use of a variety of
tools and measuring instruments
...
Basic concept for using tools and measuring instruments:
• Learn the correct uses and functions
...
If used for any purpose other than that
specified, the tool or measuring instrument damaged, and parts may be damaged or the quality of the job may be
compromised
...
Each tool and measuring instrument has defined operation procedures
...
• Select correctly
...
Always
choose your tools to fit the shape of the part and the place in which the job is being carried out
...
• Strict adherence to upkeep and management of tools
...
Any necessary repairs should
be carried out immediately, so that tools are always in perfect condition
...
• For removing and replacing bolt / nut or removing
parts
...
If a socket wrench set cannot
be used due to work space restrictions, select a
boxend wrench or an openend wrench in that
order
...
• A socket wrench is useful in that it can be used to
turn bolt / nut without the need for repositioning
...
• A socket wrench can be used in various ways
depending on the type of handle that is fitted
...
The ratchet handle is suitable for use in a
confined space
...
2
...
3
...
However the handle is
long and difficult to use in a confined space
...
NOTICE:
• The amount of strength that can be applied is
dependent on the length of the shaft of the
wrench
...
• If an excessively long shaft is used, there is a
danger of over torque, and the bolt may be
snapped
...
Size and application of the tool
• Make sure the diameter of the tool fits the head of
the bolt / nut
...

...
• If the tool cannot be pulled because of space
restrictions, push it with the palm of your hand
...
Applying strength 2
A bolt / nut, which has been tightened firmly, can be
loosened easily by the application of impact

Socket (Socket Wrench Set)
Socket wrench set
This tool can be used for the easy removing and
replacing of bolt / nut through the combination of
various handles and sockets, depending on the
operating conditions
...
1
...
The larger part can achieve greater torque than
the smaller one
...
Depth of socket
• There are two types - standard, and deep, which
is 2 or 3 times deeper than standard
...
3
...
The hexagonal part gains a large
contact surface with bolt / nut, making it extremely
difficult to damage the surface of the bolt / nut
...
NOTICE:
Over- large torque places a load on the socket
itself or on small bolts
...
Socket adapter (Large - small)
Socket adapter (Small - large)
Socket with small drive size
Socket with large drive size
(1/1)
Universal Joint (Socket Wrench Set)
Application
The socket square drive can be moved back and
forth, or left and right, and the angle of the handle
in relation to the socket wrench can be changed
freely, making this a useful tool for work in
restricted spaces
...
Do not apply torque with the handle tilted to a
large angle
...
Do not use for an air tool

Spinner Handle (Socket Wrench Set)
Application
This handle is used for removing and replacing bolt
/ nut where a large torque is required
...
• The handle slides, allowing the length of the grip
to be changed
...
If it is not in the lock position, the
handle could slide in or out during use
...
(1/1)
Sliding Handle (Socket Wrench Set)
Application
This handle can be used two ways by sliding the
socket drive portion
...
L-shape: For improved torque
2
...
Turn the set lever to the right for tightening a bolt
/ nut and to the left for loosening
...
Bolt / nut can be turned in a single direction
without the need to reattach the socket wrench
...
The socket wrench can be locked with a small
return angle, allowing work in a restricted space
...
This may damage
the construction of the ratchet
...
1
...
It can be refitted in a restricted
space
...
Since the hexagonal surface of the bolt / nut is
surrounded, there is no danger of damage to the
corners of the bolt, and a large torque can be
applied
...
Since the shaft is angled, it can be used to turn
bolt / nut in a recessed space or on a flat
surface
...
1
...
This
means that through turning the openend wrench
(spanner) over, it can be used to rotate further in
a restricted space
...
To prevent the opposite part from turning, such
as when loosening a fuel pipe, use two openend
wrenches (spanners) to loosen a nut
...
Spanners cannot give a large torque, so should
not be used for final tightening *
...
This may cause over- large torque to be applied
and may damage the bolt or the openend wrench
(spanner)
...

Adjustable Wrench
Application
Used with bolt / nut of irregular sizes, or to hold
down SST
...
One adjustable wrench can therefore be used in
place of multiple openend wrenches (spanners)
...
Instructions
Turn the adjusting screw to fit the bore to the head
of the bolt / nut being used
...
If the wrench is not turned
this way, pressure is applied to the adjusting screw,
which may be damaged
...
• Two sizes, large and small, to fit the size of spark
plugs

Measuring Instruments
To Obtain Accurate Measured Values
Measuring instruments are used for diagnosing the
condition of a vehicle by checking whether parts
dimensions and adjustment conditions match
standard values, and whether the parts of a vehicle
or engine are functioning properly
...
Clean the part to be measured and the
measuring instrument
Waste products or oil can lead to errors in
measurement values
...

...
Bad example:
Using a vernier caliper to measure the outer
diameter of a piston
...
05mm
Required precision:0
...
Calibrate zero
Check that zero is aligned to its correct position
...
4
...
Do not use if broken
...
Fit the measuring Instrument to the part to be
measured at a right angle
...
(For details, refer to individual
instructions for measuring Instruments
...
Use an appropriate range
...
The
measurement value should be read from a dial
that is suitable for the range
...
When reading the measurement value
Make sure your eye level is at a right angle to
the dial and pointer
...
Do not drop or strike, otherwise apply impact
...
2
...
Errors in measurement values
may occur from use at high temperature or
humidity
...

...
Put the tool away only after it
has been cleaned of oil or waste products
...
Measuring
tools must be stored in a defined place

REFERENCE:
Torque calculation
Tightening torque with an extension tool attached
to a torque wrench:
T' = Torque wrench reading with extension tool [N•m {kgf•cm}]
T = Specified tightening torque [N•m {kgf•cm}]
L1 = Length of extension tool [cm]
L2 = Length of torque wrench [cm]
1
...
If this
combination is used to tighten a bolt / nut until
the specified torque is read on the torque
wrench, the actual torque will exceed the
specified tightening torque
...
In addition to the specified tightening torque,
repair manuals list the T' readings of typical
torque wrenches
...

...
Standard values:
T= 80N•m [816kgf•cm]
(specified tightening torque)
T'= 65N•m [663kgf•cm]
