IPR socket tool

[chf8500]

Does anyone have a picture of one you made, I have not been able to find a pic of the 200 buck Ford tool. I have been reading with the right set up one can access the mother with out tearing the top end apart. I have a weld/mach shop and think I could fab one if I knew what they looked like, Been looking under the turbo but so with much other stuff up there it is almost impossible to see. If I can make one I would be more than happy to send it on to the next person that may need it. This tool sounds like it can take 99% of the chore out of replacing the IPR, Don't know, but I just imagine Ford Mo Co garages don't spend too many hours changing these with the right tool

I had the turbo off when I took mine out, I don't even remember what size it was so I'm not much help there. But I will say this, my truck is an 03 so the icp Is down next to the ipr, I changed out the icp a couple years ago. It was WAY easier to get to from under the truck, it's prolly the same for the ipr.

The socket is not the same as the ICP.

The price of them have dropped to around $25 to $45.

The lisle version is the cheapest. I have a lisle and a snap on, both work, one cost half as much as the other

Lisle 68210 is the number. I've seen them on ebay for $25

I have the snap-on version but prefer to use a 1 3/8 wrench cut off to about 6 inches long. Much easier to use in my opinion.

Yea I know it's not the same as the icp, I was just saying it would prolly be easier to get to under the truck.

Good, I hope OTC and snap-on both realize they'll never sell another socket. $40-50 is ridiculous. I could make a socket for that price
