Does anyone have experience in tightening the 36mm nut on the stock oil line leaving the bottom of the 914-6 stock oil tank ;and.... if so,..... with what tool? A crow's foot may get there but I don't know if that size exists. Also, there has to be a calculation to convert torque from a straight line tool (a socket perhaps) to an offset crow's foot tool.
Or maybe slice up a 36mm socket and weld a bar to the outer surface to allow some purchase on that infernal nut. Another PITA (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif) option is to remove the tank yet again and tighten the nut and hope to the almighty that it is in the right relationship to the inner fender when reinstalled... Also confounding the situation is that I have a chart of torque settings for the 911 SC but no mention of the torque values required of these oil line fittings to the engine, tank, and to each other. Any Clues Robert? I have to make an effort now I just to be serious, oh yeah Nobody's gonna give you the benefit of the doubt, oh my Every time I pick a paper up it's harder to believe the news, oh yeah I'm gonna have to shake it up and twist and shout, oh my... looking for clues |

The easiest way is to put that on before you install the tank. That one is difficult to get to any way to slice it.
If you can rotate the oil line a little as you tighten to kind of lap the sealing surfaces together, it helps them seal. |
