R1200RT Spark Plug Wrench

[Rtinger]

Outside end of the sheet metal Wunderlich tool looks simply round and therefore no way to use this tool with a torque wrench. IMHO this is a carry on the bike for emergencies tool only and it doesn't look anything at all like the BMW tool.

The real deal to me that's not the BMW tool looks like ...

I'm currently using Mercedes 112 589 01 09 00 by Hazet because I have it, but the built-in universal joint makes torqueing a little fiddly. It's cheaper than the SnapOn.

You mean the BMW plug sucket cost more than this one?... Can you torque the plugs with this thing?

I've yet to find the complete part number for the BMW socket and consequently the price. Mercedes/Hazet socket is cheaper than SnapOn. All that's required for torque wrench is 3/8 drive configuration--which the Wunderlich doesn't have.

This web takes me to a mercedez "choose car model" page...nothing on this particular tool...

The site shows the MSRP of the tool as $31.50 but their price is $39.38. Sounds like typical MB dealer pricing.

I have a Craftsman 16mm deep well socket that looks like the walls are as thin as they can be made. I haven't used it yet but I don't see how any other tool could be thinner.

Yes, the pricing is a little funny for tools. Nothing "typical" about this, however, as it's a fabulous price for the same tool shown in Samstag photo. Again, however, there's very little use for the universal joint feature of this tool as regards the R1200 engine and it makes torqueing a little fiddly. Just brought it up because it fits. I'm going to eventually buy the official BMW tool, I imagine.

This site is about something with mercedez cars....NO TOOLS.

5/8" spark plug socket for me would not clear the opening to get close to the spark plug. A 16mm craftsman deep well socket worked perfectly.

Pay attention: type in the part number provided above and you can order the tool. $50 cheaper than from Samstag

I've got a Craftsman deep thin wall from many years ago and some cheap Asian socket out of the bottom of my toolbox that both work fine. Maybe some day I'll need something pricier?

BMW Spark Plug Socket

I did some research online and found the correct part number for the BMW Spark Plug Socket known as 12 3 510 - The BMW part # is 83300401695 available for around $ 40.00;

I made up an extended version with a 5/8 thin wall spark plug socket and a 4" extension liquid welded together and works perfectly ( I would go with a 8" extension if I was doing it again ).
