What is the CORRECT size socket for the fuel filter cap on the frame?
Doesn't it also fit the oil filter cap?

 

I think it's 36mm I think.

 

Just want to be ABSOLUTELY sure, don't want to screw up the plastic cap.

 

Also, same as oil filter cap.

 

I use an 1 3/8 wrench, i have to keep flipping the wrench over every quarter turn but it works just fine, done it numerous times. probly a little more time consuming than a socket but it saved me 20 bucks

 

36mm


(insert words to make the post at least 10 characters)

 

Lisle makes a socket for it - $8 at the local auto parts store.

 

I got a 36mm impact from Granger (free) so I use that.

 

I bought the Snap-On combo socket for the oil filter and fuel filter. It sure is a lot nicer using that socket rather than the impact socket I used the first time doing the filter.

 

Snap on combo socket? I bet that was expensive. No doubt a quality tool. What does it look like MisterCMK.

What is this Lisle socket bismic?

I have a 36mm, it just seems a little lose, thought maybe I was using the wrong one.

 

I'll grab a picture of it tomorrow.

The Snap-On part number is S3624. It is 24mm on one end and 36mm on the other. It has a 3/8" drive in the middle/inside. I think I only paid about $20 for off the Snap-On truck. I didn't know there were things on that truck under $50. Had it for several years and love it!
