972070 Six Point Socket Screw | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

Genuine Volvo Penta six point socket screw, listed for 66 applications across TAMD, AD, D, TMD, MS and HS series engines and drives. It supersedes part number 965391, which was catalogued earlier as a cross recessed screw, so the drive in the head has changed and a hexagon key is now needed where a cross-head driver was used before.

🚤 Compatibility

• Engine Family: TAMD, AD, D, TMD, MS, HS, KAMD, MD, KAD
• HP Range: 13-75 HP

⚙️ Key Features

• Six point socket drive
• 66 applications across TAMD, AD, D, TMD, MS and HS series
• Supersedes 965391, catalogued earlier as a cross recessed screw
• Head drive has changed, so a different tool is needed

🔌 Function

Clamps two components together, the six point socket in its head letting it be driven in a recess or anywhere a spanner cannot swing.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Socket in the head rounded out so a key no longer bites
• Head sheared off during tightening or removal
• Thread stripped, galled or picked up in the tapped hole
• Corrosion or paint packing the socket so the key will not seat
• Joint working loose or weeping around the fastener

🛠️ Service Notes

• Clean the socket out fully before applying a key, as a partly seated key is what rounds the head
• If you are replacing 965391 on an older build, expect the hexagon key rather than the cross-head driver you used previously
