Q: Crank turning bolt size

[ploddit]

Yes another question from the toolless wonder.

This time it's the bolt on the end of the crankshaft used to turn the motor to set the valve clearances, I suspect 19mm, but I would be most grateful if someone would be able to confirm.



Thanks again.

get the sockets out and find the one that fits, easy.

I need to buy a socket that's why I ask. Hence the toolless reference.

I've dragged half way across the world by the Mrs with only a suitcase.

hi one way is measure across bolt head , you can use like a compass , dividers. then
transfer to tape or ruler.. think its 19 or 20mm. normal undo anti clockwise,. it is
awkward to guess without correct tools.we will try and help as much as possible..try and
buy a good quality metric socket set,you will need on your rebuild.

standard socket set (M8-M22) will be more than enough for what you want and need.
1/2 inch drive is the one to go for.
