    that holds the oil/water cooler on the engine of a 9A/KR engine, mine for some reason is not on the right way round.

    i know for a fact its bigger than 24mm and smaller than 30mm as neither of my sockets fitted [:x] anyone know what size it is??

    Use a pair of pipe grips, shouldnt be up that tight.
    Probably a 27mm

    My set came with imperial sockets. I think it's 1 1/8" that fits perfectly.

    I think I used an imperial socket on mine too, either that or a huge moving spanner as it doesn't need to be very tight anyway.
