Dropping Oil Pan
« on: September 22, 2005, 08:08:15 AM »
Guys I'm removing the oil pan to check for sludge ect. and having problem with the bolt directly behind the drain plug.  It's set too close to the pan to get a socket on it and a box end wrench doesn't provide enough room to torque it.  Does this require a special tool? Any help appreciated.

My first of many questions I'm sure.

I'm off to drain and treat the tank.

How about a U-joint wrench with a thin-walled socket?

thin walled 10mm socket or open /closed end 10mm wrench should do the trick.  Regarding torque, I just snug it up and than 1/4 more.

Don't I know it,  the new header on my bike blocks the right side bolts.   What a pain.
