GeneralDisorder Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 If you can't find a cheap one (most people don't often run across large allen bolts), Harbor Frieght has a set of allen sockets that goes up to 17mm for like $20. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 If you can't find a cheap one (most people don't often run across large allen bolts) not sure about EA stuff but on the XT6's they have a goofy bolt to secure part of the a/c compressor/bracket. you can toss some nuts on the threads, then flip it around to use it to get those allen heads off as it's the same 14mm.

GeneralDisorder Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Yeah - the block plugs though are often hard to remove - especially the one under the water pump . If you have a welder, then you can do as Gary sugests but run a weld bead across opposite flats of the nuts the grind them flat and make a tool that way. We did that at work for a time till I got tired of using the makeshift tool and bought that HF set that goes to 17mm - we needed the 17mm for some really weird banjo fittings on some German equipment. I don't know of any other large allen's on a Subaru - that XT6 thing you describe I've never seen on another EA. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
