Re: Tranny oil Q

[Stephen Weenink <weinerman99@yahoo.com>]

Hey there,
     I think I have the solution to your hex bolt problem.  I believe
that the hex size is about 17mm, so, what you need to do is find a
bolt with a 17mm head on it (like a typical VW wheel stud), weld on a
nut that corresponds to the thread pattern of the bolt you use to the
other end, and then use that end to wrench out the hex bolt.  I had to
do this with my old 87 Fox wagon (it leaked a liter of geal oil a
week... smelly car), unfortunately if you don't have a welder you're
SOL.  Maybe someone else on the list has a better idea?
