This replacement clip is an authentic OEM component which is made for Makita impact wrenches. The part is secured in the anvil and it helps to apply tension on the socket to secure it. Over time it may wear out and lose tension eventually requiring a replacement. If a socket does not stay put on the anvil, a faulty or a damaged clip may be the cause. Make sure to refer to the appropriate diagrams of your model for the exact location and the correct installation of this clip. One durable metal item is included. You will need pliers to remove the old one and secure the new one in the anvil.

XWT04Z - Early models have the pin which makes any 1/2: socket too hard to release

I love LXT (and all) Makita tools. XWT04Z is a boss when it comes to removing big bolts, taking off tires, or whenever you need compact brute strength. The only issue with the tool was the retaining pin which keeps the socket on the tool. It was designed as a cylinder, instead of a ball as most other 1/2" socket tools utilize. This was a pain as you had to use another tool (small screwdriver, punch, etc) to depress the pin down in order to change sockets on the tool. When you are working on a vehicle this is a total bummer. I tried to modify the existing pin by grinding it down but that didn't work so well...sockets fell off too easily. I tried to call Makita to see if they would send me a replacement part but got disconnected. My time is valuable so I went on e-replacement parts and found what I needed instantly. When I looked at e-replacement parts for a replacement pin I saw that the part was changed (redesigned!), and wanted to try it out. Not too expensive and they shipped it right out.
It is difficult removing the spring and the small pin as there is minimal clearance to work with. I am sure there is a special service tool from Makita but that is not available. I tried to use pliers, picks, steel rod etc but the access hole from the front is too small. What finally did it was making a special "hook" tool out of a hacksaw blade. Using my bench grinder (i am sure you can use a file too just will take longer), you file down the hacksaw blade to make a small hook. With this special tool, you can now try to pull the retaining spring up towards the front of the tool. When it is almost out, you can snag it with a mechanic's pick and pull it out. The spring may be compromised so I suggest ordering a new one when you perform the service.
Installation is a snap. Insert the pin and push the spring in until it pops in place...way easier than removal. I am sure the current XWT04Z are fixed but if you have an early version, this pin will make your life so much easier. Way worth it.

Push the pin into the side hole of the anvil, with point facing out. Press the clip in the top hole of the anvil, with the two ends going in first, and make sure the round part of the clip fits in the groove of the pin.
