I'm trying to remove a Mocal sandwich adapter (with thermostat) and I can't find a socket that fits the threaded piece in the middle that holds the adapter on. It's big - somewhere around 27-30mm. Anyone know off the top of their head what size it is (or is it even metric)?

Hopefully going to stop by my FLAPS today to pick up a socket.

Figured it out - the threaded collar can be removed with a 1 1/8" deep socket (I don't think there is a metric equivalent).

Jeff just curious -- why are you removing it?

I have the same unit on my car and it seems to work great. Is there something I should know?
