crank bolt size?

[type911]

I dont have a socket big enough to turn the crank. Anyone know what size I need to buy. I know its a tad smaller then 1 in. I hate to buy 3 and have to return 2. Just doing a valve adjustment. thanks

15/16

nope.15/16 was too small. it has to be metric.

well then 31/32".
i thought it was 15/16 too. i seem to recall using an SAE socket (I think). are you sure there are no burrs on the bolt, which are keeping the socket from goin on?

good luck.

I checked it before I posted 15/16 and that it fits mine perfect

I use one in my impact set...it American...thought it was 15/16..

Ill have to look for burrs. I couldn't get the 15/16ths on though. and 1 was too big. Thanks.

if someone (not you) was rotating the motor and too lazy to use the right sized socket (using a 1" or 25mm, etc) they might have rounded the bolt edges a bit.

good luck.

Tried the 15/16s again and I must have been have a sleep. It fit fine. thanks guys.

just like us, sometimes the tools want to rest - they choose to not fit or fight you when this happens (sometimes they will run away, so you cant find them).
glad you got it.

just in case you're ever looking for reference on metric, it's a 23 mm will work .....my 2 cents, i'm done
