Oil Cooler

I am trying to take off my oil cooler lines on my rx7 and am wondering what size the end fittings are to take them off? I tried to use a 22mm wrench since thats the biggest one I have yet its too small. I just thought I would post and ask before I went out and bought a new wrench and it not being the right size since im on a budget! Thanks.

You came up just short, it's 23 mm. I just went to verify this for you since I have a spare in the garage and plenty of tools.

Yeah, 23mm seems right to me for the fittings at the cooler as well, but I'll try and check later today.

yeah I think I did the same thing, since I had a 22mm and a 24mm but not the 23mm.

It's even more amazing when one considers that Jerry lives about 600 mi away from DALE.

LOL, when I read that, I thought "Dale?! Dale Clark?!?! Umm, huh?"

But, anyway it's like only 500 miles. When I went up there with you back in June, my trip odometer had logged like 1012 miles.

FWIW, Dale's room mate's are Brian Smith (Sledgehammer on this forum) and Steven Fooshee (not on forum). They have THE COOLEST rotary haven in the Southeast.
