[Mk2] [NA] head bolt socket size for rev2 auto import

Post by robo »

Having a ](*,) moment

Just received the OTC 6022 socket to find out its too small. Anyone know which one I'm meant to be using on a rev2 auto import?

Cheers

If i remember right , i cut the corner off a 10mm allen key slapped a socket over it and did them that way if you cant be bothered to wait for the right tool. :thumleft:

From memory it's a 12mm 12 point socket, but I'll go check for you...

I'd be nervous of torquing them down with an allen key 8-[

It certainly is for ARP's so maybe yours is fitted with them already?
