Just to agree with everyone else, you need a 1" deep well socket. The washers are not able to be easily found. I tried looking everywhere. I have a thread somewhere on here with the size of them.

1" deep well as everyone has said.

I got my coppper washers from the dealer. all 8 for ~$10. i don't think that was to bad since i new they were exactly what was needed.

Torque them to 45 ft/lbs. We have been around long enough to know 35 ft/lbs ain't enough for them. They usually leak with that little amount of torque.
