Step 1: Prep Bolts & Socket

Clean bolts and threads. Lube with Moly paste. Attach ATC34CAT19MM to 3/4″ torque wrench or impact.

Step 2: Engage 12-Point Grip

Align 12-point with bolt head. Rotate 30° if needed for fit. No wobble – prevents rounding.

Step 3: Torque or Remove

Torque to CAT spec (e.g., 200 ft-lbs for MBE head). For removal, use impact – socket handles high loads without slip.

Step 4: Check & Clean

Re-torque if needed. Clean socket. Tip: Use with anti-seize on bolts for next job.
