I couldn't find this using the search (there were very few references to the oil pressure regulator).

Anyone know the size of the rear oil pressure regulator? I have one that's really stubborn and I need to buy the proper sized socket to remove...Unfortunately, I broke my calipers so I can't measure it myself.

Thanks!

 

i dunno if theres room to get a socket on it in the car, with the engine built. i usually use a crecent wrench for it

 

Engine is in pieces. Unfortuantely, I don't have a crescent wrench with a long enough handle. Also, to reinstall, I need to follow the torque specs.

 

I believe its one size up from a standard 1" socket....not good with rembering standard sizes... --I'll check real quick to make sure

 

I know this is a really old thread but while doing research for taking mine off I found no answers.

So, the size which you need is 1 1/16" socket or whatever the metric equivalent is.

 

Im thinking its a 26mm socket I was changing my regulator and had to get a new socket set just for the 26mm.

 

I'm almost certain it is 23MM.

Also, holy old topic.
