double-checking bolt size for oil cooler + lines
so i need 21 and 23mm sockets and a 25mm flare wrench to get everything off, right? (though mounting bolts are the standard like everything else)
i only ask cause my socket set (even my deep sockets) only goes to 19, so i'm going to get these individually, and i don't want to buy another part if i don't need it also, is there an easier way to disconnect the lines from the engine than i'm thinking? i've gotten the main bolt loosened, but i don't know what's going to be able to grab it (unless a flare wrench will be able to) and still twist off the other bolt, as it's been getting a little annoying :) also, i'll be heading to harbor freight for their sidewalk sale tomorrow to pick me up an engine hoist since it's on sale! woot! :) it'll go great with my harbor freight engine stand :D (now just need the rotary engine adapter, lol) |
i used a 23 mm wrench and it came off like a charm ?
throw the round side on it and nail the wrench with a hammer :) took me 5 minutes |
The banjo bolts are 23MM.
The front cover connection is a size I always forget. Perhaps 21MM? I always just use a thin adjustable since most open ended wrenches seem to be a bit thick. Generally it takes a few hammer whacks to get it loose. |
thanks guys...so just hit the wrench w/a hammer on the front housing? i got it loose (thanks pb and vice grips :D), but it looks like im going to break the line, as the entire line is twisting when i twist the bolt

ok, now where am i supposed to get a 23mm socket??? i went to sears, lowe's, home depot, and advanced auto parts, and NO one had it.
|
sears should definately have it.

why dont you just use my method ?
nevertheless they should have a socket in a kit if you need to use it. my suggestion is to buy the kit, use the socket, then when you're done return the kit |
oh, sorry, yes, i could do that, but i didn't want to spend $20 on a wrench if i could get a $5 socket :)

A 15/16ths 6 point socket will work.
