I'll have to look at the socket I keep in my glove box. In any case, Sears carries a 29mm for $6.99 (Sears item #00944230000). This one is a 12 pt, but they probably also carry the six point as well. I got the one I use as part of a set. (in reply to Patrick) Post #: 3

Status: offline yes that is the size of the plug. i have a socket that fits, but theres not enough room between the plug and exaust line for it all to fit. i didnt see a 29mm at sears last night, maybe ill have to go up to the counter and ask or something. _____________________________ 1994 Disco I Owning a Land Rover is like dating a super model.

Status: offline that was my original intent, but their selection jumps from 27mm to 30mm even on the website. i ordered one from www.arizonatools.com for about US$30 after shipping, a 30mm cxaftsman is about $37 before shipping. _____________________________ 1994 Disco I Owning a Land Rover is like dating a super model.

I don't know if mine is metric, but the wrench i used was perfect. _____________________________ <--------Loosing Brakes on Lions Back, Moab! (in reply to Bene) Post #: 7
