Nine-piece kit of locking, holding and removal tools for diesel chain timing. Designed specifically for BMW N47/N47S/N57/N57S 2.0 and 3.0 engines from 2007 to 2012.
Accurate timing alignment - with dedicated camshaft and crankshaft locking tools
Camshaft locking and a crankshaft wheel locking pin hold timing positions while chain tensioner locking pins secure the tensioner. A crankshaft holding tool and sprocket puller enable safe removal and refit without relying on guesswork.
Correct alignment reduces the risk of valve-train damage and removes much of the guesswork during timing-chain jobs, speeding up the procedure while protecting the engine.
Built to last - with high quality carbon steel construction
Components are made from carbon steel engineered to resist deformation under workshop loads, with a finish noted as high quality in user feedback. Durable materials support repeated use in a professional setting.
Sturdy tools tolerate workshop stresses and maintain accurate fitment over time, making them suitable for regular maintenance and repair work.
Organised workflow - with a nine-piece kit and blow-moulded storage case
The set includes nine purpose-sized tools arranged within a heavy-duty blow-moulded case that has precision-sized compartments for each piece. The layout prevents loss and protects components during transport.
Ready access to the right tool keeps jobs moving and reduces downtime, allowing efficient, tidy working on timing-chain services.
