What are you asking about? I don;t think mine has a drive socket, but I am not sure.

2 tips for slotted screws, 4 phillips, 4 torx, and 2 square drive. I have a photo but not seeing where I can download it for you.

Stick a screwdriver into the open end of the socket. Hold the socket and just slam the handle of the screwdriver down into your workbench. That did it for me. It destroys the packaging though. I would just return them, they're pretty terrible.

No restrictions on size. If you have a 1/2" drive socket, no matter the size, it will work

It should just screw into the co-axial cable plug. Same as where the cable hooks in.

The face place comes off and the drives can be changed. As far as increasing the capacity, I believe you can but I'm not positive

I used a socket set (can't remember if it was US or metric) but used 3 different sockets out of the set. Sorry I couldn't be more specific on the socket set.

I would compare this drive to the current one you own. If the size or type of connector is different then that it's where your problem lies

My sockets were so old they had gotten out-of-round and the inserts wouldn't fit. I straightened the sockets as well as I could and then forced the inserts in. I then took a drill with a 1/2" bit and went through the insert to take out the distortion (from being in the out-of-round socket) and it worked fine!

Just Google for that model's schematic. There are YouTube videos, too. That model is more difficult than most. Have to take out a lot of screws, both front and back.

It requires a 12 point 1/4 socket. i bought a proto brand 3/8 drive just for this purpose because it has a nice thin outside circumference at the socket (1/4) inch end. And its a nice sturdy socket. "Stanley Proto J5208 3/8-Inch Drive Socket, 1/4-Inch, 12 Point" Note: picture not typical.

I also mounted my SSD to the bracket. I seem to remember having to really bend the power cable to get it to fit because there's not much room between the bracket and the drive.

The plugs on most items today have one side that is a bit larger; that larger side fits in the larger side of the socket. Just flip it over.

Depends. A ratchet or breaker bar would be best. the sockets are for a 3/8 inch drive. You can use an open end or box wrench directly on the end of the socket (they would all be different sizes) but either a ratchet or breaker bar would be best.

I took a small flathead screwdriver and carefully pried the socket from the wiring clip. It popped right out, and the new one pushed on easily. You can see how it matches up. Just be careful to do it gently so you don't break it off. Mine was a perfect fit, so you shouldn't have any problem.
