rod problem/question.
Wednesday, April 11, 2012 7:29 PM
I'm trying to remove my connecting rods. And the bolt holding them on threw me off. What type of socket do I need to take them off? Is it a standard spline socket or a special socket?

Its a 12 point nut. Its best to use a 12 poi.t socket. You may be able to remove with a 6 point but not sure as I've never tried.
