BMW Tools & Specialty Equipment for BMW 5 Series E39 (1996-2003)

When it comes to the torque found on axle nuts you're already looking at using a breaker bar or impact gun not to mention the corrosion collected over the years. The safest approach is using impact socket, since they are built with the strength needed to avoid breaking under pressure.

Features:

• Heavy duty ½ inch-drive sockets and drivers have extra thick alloy steel walls, and take a beating that would destroy normal sockets
•  Durable black oxide coating wipes clean easily and resists rust
• Contains three 12-point sockets for a sure grip on the most common sized axle nuts, plus three hex drives for removing common hex-head plugs and fasteners
• Conveniently packaged in a blow molded case, this set will please the most demanding professional technician or discriminating prosumer

Kit includes:

• 30mm, 32mm, and 36mm - 12-point axle nut sockets - ½" drive

• 14mm, 17mm, and 19mm hex head drive axle shoulder bolt sockets - ½" drive

A perfect collection of hex head sockets compiled in a case that's always ready to go.

Features:

• High strength hex driver set, in 3/8 and 1/2-inch drive, is rugged enough for professional use and includes 4, 4.5, 5.5, 6, 8, 12, 14, and 17mm sizes
• Conveniently housed in a sturdy blow molded case for portability and easy organization.

When dismantling a suspension strut sometimes the securing nut can be difficult to access and the central strut itself needs to be held still while the nut is undone. This new Shock Absorber Tool Kit is designed to overcome these problems and make the job quick and easy.

The go-through design of the sockets and ratchet design allows the strut lock extensions to go right through the middle of the ratchet and socket. Five different strut lock extensions are included, to fit a variety of applications. Seven go-through deep sockets (16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 24mm) are included, plus a sliding T-bar.

Once the spring is compressed and the top plate is free, simply choose the correct strut lock extension and socket. Then fit the socket and the ratchet handle, and fit the strut lock straight through. The central strut is held steady, and the securing nut is quickly removed.

Specifically designed for repairing and replacing shock absorbers and struts

• Tough and rigid expanded polystyrene foam (EPS) with a load rating of 1,500lbs per wheel (almost twice what the normal corner weight would be on a 3-series BMW)
• 12" height X 12" width with minimal compression under load
• Light weight with each block weighing less than 6lbs and with a handy strap for carrying or hanging
• Curved cradle for the tire to sit inside
• Non-skid surface that won't scratch your floor

Looking for an alternative to your jack stands? With these wheel blocks you won't have to think twice about a jack stand scratching or denting the underside of your floor or the car falling off the jack stand. These work best when used with a floor jack under the subframe and the opposite axle wheels chocked. These are also a light weight and inexpensive alternative to the super-pricey plastic and metal ramps. They are resistant to most fluids and chemicals (but not solvents) and will never rust unlike metal ramps and blocks.

Also available in a 10" height.

Much like a newborn child, the first few moments of your engine's life are crucial for its long-term well-being. Don't let your hard work go to waste - use Red Line assembly lube to protect engine components during those first vital moments after initial start-up, when no lubrication is present. Red Line's special formula provides 3x more film strength than conventional assembly lubricants, and it works great as a corrosion inhibitor during those long-term engine builds that spend a lot of time in storage. Best of all, it's designed not to clog filters like many assembly lubricants have a tendency to.

This large socket is the perfect tool for axle nuts when servicing the axle shafts or wheel bearings.

Features:

• ½-inch drive 36mm 12-point socket
• Specially hardened to take the added abuse from a impact gun
• Coated for added protection and so you can tell it apart from non impact rated sockets
• 75mm depth  to accommodate many applications and different length shafts
• Made of durable chrome moly steel

Programming:

With this TPMS programming tool, you can program FOXWELL T10 TPMS sensors (T2317833 or T2317834 ) to meet the specifications of a particular vehicle before new sensor installation and relearn. 4 different sensor programming methods are supported by the FOXWELL TS5000 TPMS Service Tool: Copy by Activation; Manual Create; Automatic Create. (Note: TS5000 will only program a replacement sensor if it is a FOXWELL T10 sensor, which can be easily found on our site.)

• Copy by OBD:
  • This method pulls the previously registered sensor ID through the vehicle's TPMS module using OBDII, and will then program the ID to the FOXWELL T10 sensor
  • This eliminates the need for a relearn by combining both steps into one
• Copy by Activation
  • If your original sensor works and can be activated. You could use this method to program a new sensor. It will clone the original ID to the new FOXWELL T10 sensor.
• Copy by Manual Input:
  • If you know the original sensor ID, you can input the ID to program new sensor.
• Auto Create Sensors:
  • If you don't know the original sensor ID or your original sensor was bad, you can choose this method. Install new sensor ID--> program new sensor--> perform TPMS learning and let the car recognize new sensor

Relearning:

The FOXWELL TS5000 TPMS Service Tool can be used as a professional TPMS relearn scanner, to relearn almost all known sensor IDs, which is compatible with 95% of vehicles equipped with TPMS and extremely popular among car repair ships and DIY car owners. To ensure compatibility with different vehicles, 3 types of TPMS sensor relearning are offered:

• OBD Relearn:
  • Usually the most effective relearn tactic, this will allow you to connect the TS5000 to your car wirelessly using the OBDII port and placing your vehicle in a relearn mode.
• Automatic Relearn:
  • For some vehicles, the “Relearn” function can be completed automatically by driving, which makes it quite easy to do a complete set of sensor replacement operations on your own. Be aware that this may require you to drive the vehicle at a certain speed for a designated amount of time for it to relearn.
• Stationary Relearn:
  • TS5000 allows the new TPMS sensor IDs to be transferred without driving a vehicle. You can trigger the sensors when the vehicle is in learn mode by our TPMS Tool TS5000. This will usually require a specific sequence created by the vehicle manufacturer as well, such as pressing the brake a few times, turning the key, etc.

Please note that some vehicles require a combination of these relearning methods, such as needing to drive for a designated amount of time after relearning using OBD. There may also be extra steps your manufacturer uses, so please research your specific vehicle when performing a relearn!

Note:

• Certain functions may be limited from the vehicle manufacturer due to the requirement of a special factory access code. 
  • Pre OBDII vehicles will have limited feature availability
• We recommend purchasing a Bentley Manual to use with your TPMS Tool.
• You will need to register your TPMS tool in order to receive update notice's from Foxwell via E-mail
• Vehicles with 20 pin under hood connector will require T366829  for use
