27mm

The easiest way is to use an impact wrench.

or a socket and a strong friend. LOL =-)

It translates to a SAE 1 1/16" socket BTW. (I only had metric up to a certain size and had to improvise)


Tell Leo it's 88 degrees here in Hercules.... right next to his old Casa location. Miss that guy.....

Thanks Richie, Todd, and Roger.

Ended up with two new sets running from 12 to 27mm. They were on sale (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Right now the weather in NY is fantastic. So much so that Liz said this is NorCal weather this after noon. Sadly we know it wont last.

Started life here and have come full circle. Been skiing since I was young and started snowboarding around 1987... Sad thing is the ski conditions in Tahoe destroy this area.

Got it last fall. It is a blast in the snow. Can't stop it. Been going over it slowly over the past few months. Just finished timing belt and associated normal tune parts. Next is bushings all around, but this is my station car, so the Audi 5000 turbo motor swap or potential 4.2 v8 will need to wait until I can con the wife into the car needs it mode...
