What are the bolts that hold the cylinders (jugs) called? What size are they? The ones that look like a reverse torx socket Don't want to spend big cash on a set if i can just buy one socket to pull them out. So far none of the run of the mill tool place have them. Snap on wants to sell me a whole set.. I just need one and can't remember what they are called | ||

12 point socket? Are these the bolts that hold the head to the cylinder? If so,any hardware store should have it.I know the Blast is a 1/2 inch | ||

They are called an Internal Thread Screw. 1/2-12 point as mentioned is the size. | ||

Its just a standard 1/2" socket. 12 point. | ||

Recommend a soft brass punch and give each head bolt(SCREW,internal thread) cap nuts a rap or two with a hammer to help break threads loose ... The two next to the spark plug are short and the other two are long, so pay attention to how things come apart ... Always remember, "You Will Forget" ... | ||

THANKS VERY MUCH to all who responded. Freakin snap on guy had the socket called an internal thread torque bolt socket, or something like that, wanted $14 for the one after i bitched about buying a set. I was hoping for a good alternative. thanks again all. thanks for the extra advice buellistic. I have been bagging and marking EVERYTHING as it comes off. |
