6 Bolt Head Removal
« on: March 15, 2012, 10:40:56 pm »
Went to take the head off the parts motor this evening.
Looks like I need to buy a hex socket for the allen head bolts.

Before I go buy the wrong one... 10mm? I think?

Thanks!

I bought a set of those hex sockets at Lordco, I think it was under $30.  You will use them a few times, the other sizes too.

Plus, with a real tool, when it comes time to torque them, you won't have to worry about it stripping or slipping etc.
