When I had to do that I could not find anyone selling a 5/16" square bit. I cut a piece of 5/16" square stock steel into several 1" to 2" lengths and welded them into some extra 3/8" drive sockets I had laying around.

I make sure to keep one behind the seat along with the block drain plug I pulled out when I installed the coolant bypass. With my luck, I know I'll be in the middle of no where when the hose blows and I want to reinstall the block plug.

Thanks for that. I won't likely receive many of those, as the skill and knowledge of many, many members is incredible.

Thank gosh for that.

Thank you,
