Sunluway 22mm Harmonic Balancer Impact Socket — Deep Counterweighted 6‑Point for 1/2" Drive

Sunluway's 22mm harmonic balancer socket is a deep, counterweighted 6-point impact socket engineered to remove stubborn 22 mm hex crank or pulley damper bolts with increased torque and reduced slippage.

This specialized socket is built for engines that use a 22mm hex crank bolt — commonly found on Toyota, Lexus, Ford, Jeep, Dodge and several other makes — and is optimized for use with a 1/2" drive impact wrench. It combines a deep counter-weighted profile and a 6-point internal geometry to seat securely on the bolt head, while heat-treated GB 40CR alloy steel construction and an impact-rated finish provide strength for high-torque removal tasks.

How does this socket make crank bolt removal easier?

The Sunluway socket increases effective torque transfer and resists deformation during impact wrench use, so bolts that stick from corrosion or tight torque come loose more predictably. Its deep reach and counter-weighted body stabilize the tool while the 6-point contact concentrates force on bolt flats rather than corners.

• Deep profile clears pulley damper for direct access to the bolt
• 6-point fit minimizes rounding and slippage
• Counter-weighted design stabilizes during high-impact use
• Optimized for 1/2" drive impact wrenches

What materials and heat treatment give this socket durability?

This 22mm socket is forged from GB 40CR alloy steel and undergoes heat treatment to raise hardness and fracture resistance. The result is an impact-quality tool made to endure repeated high-torque strikes without cracking or excessive wear.

• GB 40CR alloy steel for high tensile strength
• Heat-treated to increase hardness and toughness
• Impact-rated finish resists surface damage and corrosion
• Quality control to reduce risk of catastrophic failure

Which vehicles and applications are compatible with this 22mm socket?

Designed for any engine that uses a 22 mm hex crank or pulley damper bolt, this socket fits a broad mix of makes and models. It’s useful for professional mechanics and DIYers removing harmonic balancers, crank pulleys, or other 22mm-hex fasteners.

• Commonly fits Toyota and Lexus engines with 22mm hex crank bolts
• Compatible with Ford, Dodge, Jeep and some BMW and Kia applications
• Works for pulley damper, harmonic balancer, and similar 22mm tasks
• Use with 1/2" drive ratchets and impact wrenches

How should I use this tool safely and effectively?

Pair the socket with a properly rated 1/2" drive impact wrench and follow vehicle service instructions for crank bolt removal. Secure the engine per manufacturer guidance when needed and apply controlled impacts, checking fit and alignment before full force.

• Confirm 22mm hex sizing and firm 6-point engagement
• Use with a compatible 1/2" drive impact or breaker bar
• Follow vehicle torque specs and engine locking procedures
• Inspect socket for damage before and after use

Who this is for: Mechanics, technicians and home garage enthusiasts who regularly service engines or replace harmonic balancers and crank pulleys will benefit most from the Sunluway 22mm harmonic balancer socket. It suits users who need a durable, impact-rated socket to tackle seized or high-torque 22mm hex bolts across multiple vehicle brands, and anyone prioritizing a secure 6-point fit and robust alloy-steel construction for long-term workshop use.
