82 oil cooler line removal
I am trying to remove the oil cooler lines from my oil cooler on a 82 rx7. I know I need a 21mm wrench to hold the adapters while you remove the banjo bolts. What size wrench do I need to buy to fit the banjo bolts. I have read anywhere from 23 to 27mm.

To get to the line at the engine you have to jack it up. Support the engine on a jack and remove the bolts for the engine mount and the cross member. Then its just little turns after little turns, it will come off. PB Blaster will help alot also.

It looks like trochoid handed out some bad advice... AGAIN!! lol kidding Scott.
You should have told him to get a 26mm as I believe that is the correct size. As mazdaverx713b said, 1 1/16 is pretty close and I wish I had one or a 26mm kicking around. It's next on the 'to get' list.
I have been getting by with a Diamond brand adjustable wrench.
As for the 23mm, I have one of those. It comes in handy for the banjo bolt one the rear plate. Maybe that's what trochoid thought you were talking about. liondogs, you shouldn't have called them banjo bolts. There is only one banjo bolt on a 1st gen, and it's at the bottom corner of the rear plate.

um, I used a 27mm wrench. We're talking about the end of the hose and not the fitting, correct?
I tried with a crescent wrench, it was too thick and kept slipping, pissed me off for over an hour. Got a 27mm, turned with ease and popped right off.
Sorry if this adds to the confusion.

Ok, yes, 23 mm is for the banjo bolt as for the flare nut at the other end of that steel oil line. The adapter fitting takes a 21 mm, which is the one I needed to thin.
Not all wrenches are made equal. For example, I have some K-D line wrenches, they are twice as thick in the head as the cheap *** Blackhawks are. Sometimes size does matter, lol. Can't help with the oil line fitting sizes as I use one of my grandfather's heavy duty crescent wrenches that's over 50 years old. It's still better than the new ones.
