No, it's ready to go. The ring helps keep sockets on when the gun is in use. Just wiggle and push and the socket should fit right in.

they are held firmly in place.. the bottom of the tray where the sockets sit is the exact size of each socket....if tipped over the sockets will fall off. but these trays are designed so you don't have to remove them from your tool box

I have to use a small pick to get the socket off if I line it up with the hole in the socket. If there is no hole in the socket you can pull it off with some resistance.

I use a Gorilla Wrench which includes the correct size socket. I also use a 6 inch extension. Don't forget to torque your lugs after tightening them.

Make sure it's on completely though. I usually tap it with the wrench end until I'm sure it's snug and can move no further.

The tip just threads in. Consider gripping the metal rim of the tip (the part that gets replaced) with a pair of pliers and twisting in a counter clockwise direction, as you would to loosen a nut. Be careful not to damage the barrell of the stylus with the pliers. When you replace the tip, tighten it as tight as you can by hand. Do not use pliers on the new tip.

The advert states, "No tools needed.", but I use an adjustable wrench or pliers for the last little turn - barely more than hand tightening. You are just exchanging the oil pan caps. About half the time, I can't remove the ShureDrain cap and use pliers.

Look at the top tip and you will see an acorn nut. It is there to protect the 1/4"-20 threaded end. Mine was just finger tight and I didn't need a wrench to remove them.

just an adjustable wrench for the nut on each side is fine. or socket wrench if you have set. you just put it it on your post, get it to the angle you like and tighten.

LOL. Wow. Yes I remember the sockets being a little difficult to remove from the plastic holders, but I guess I'm not the kind of guy that likes to let a piece of plastic get the best of me, hehe.I think I used a pair of pliers to hold the plastic while I pulled em off with the other hand. I definitely didn't try putting them back on and threw the plastic thing away, lol.

I you are removing / changing sockets often, go with the hog ring anvil. the other style requires you to push in a spring loaded pin with a punch or nail to change the sockets. I have no problem pushing on or pulling off sockets with the hog ring anvil.

I needed an 11mm socket wrench. I also had to use an adjustable wrench (set to 13mm) to hold the head of the bolts while I screwed on the 11mm nuts. You can use any kind of wrench that can handle something 13mm. Without the adjustable wrench I wouldn't have been able to screw on the nuts.

You feather the trigger to stop well before bolt/nut is tight: should be less than hand tight at this point. Then use torque wrench. At least this is how we use it on our car lug bolts. Given the torque spec on this unit, you definitely don't want to end up over-torqueing the bolt/nut.

You will need tools. A small cresent wrench or a good pair of pliers. I don't like using pliers they damage the nuts. So I would use the wrench

A torque wrench is not needed to remove bolts or lug nuts. Some Ford spark plugs use a torque setting so you don't break the plugs. I really like this model for heavier jobs a smaller torque wrench would be good for spark plugs.

You use your lug wrench on it. The socket goes on the lug nut and your lug wrench goes on to the socket. Socket will fit two different sizes of lug wrenches.

It looks like they are just pressed in. They don't come out on their own or wiggle. I have not tried to force them out. If you break or lose one, I would guess that you would likely replace the both bit and socket together.
