Anyone happen to know the right socket to take the big oil cooler line off the engine block? A 15/16 sort of fits, but not snug enough to remove it. Must be a big-*** metric of some kind.
Thanks!

 

just use an adjustable wrench, that worked for me. i think it is like 20mm

 

It's a 25mm...

Thanks, now off to sears!

 

well like i said i used an adjustable wrench so it was a guess...

 

You need one wrench to hold the fitting in the block, and another to turn the line, in case you didnt notice...

Right, two adjustables for the front line. I was having trouble with the rear one, a 15/16 was rounding out the bolt. I'll pick up a 25mm tomorrow.

 

I used an adjustable wrench on mine, too.. but it's max width was 25mm and I had it adjust the whole way open.. test fit the socket before you take the tag off.. my wrench may have been off and I don't want to screw ya out of $7...

buy a cheap *** 7/8 and grind it down to make a sure fit plus an adjustable.

 

Now thats a thinking man!

 

Are you referring to the banjo bolt that holds the long cooler line towards the rear of the engine? If so its a 23mm.

 

no its 24mm i've got that and a 25mm... its cheaper if you get the head that pops into the rachet... the 25 is for the hose and the 24 is for the fittings... i assume that this is a GSL-SE...

 

Mine came off with a 24mm and an adjustable. Had to use a 'persuasion' bar to free mine. Total PIA.

 

Yes, its the one big line on the rear of the engine.
Gues I'd better pick up a 23, 24, and a 25!

 

*Update..it's the 23. I know this because I CAN'T FIND ONE! Sears has the 21, 22, 24, 25.

 

Sears doesn't have a 23mm socket unless you buy a whole set, I just bought a 23mm combo wrench and used that. Not sure about SE's, but the lines on non SE's have a 26mm end on the line and the aformentioned 23mm for the banjo.
