86BRATMAN Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 14MM should be the one you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocei77 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 If you are referring to the wrist pin access covers, they are T 70. O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86BRATMAN Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 A T70 would be a torx bit, while it would still work I could see the possiblility of damaging the plug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 14mm Allen. (Hex) Torx may work but the bits are easy to round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 14mm alen on the older stuff. Some of the newer one's have Torx. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 The way I got those out. I take a bolt with a 14mm head. Then weld a nut to the threads. Use a socket that's the size of the nut and it pulls the plug out. It's pretty simple to make out of your spare nuts/bolts collection.

The only place I have ever seen a T70 on a Subaru is on a manual transmission drainplug. And this was done to keep Quick Lube places from draining the trans and filling the engine. Its 14MM allen or hex plug depending on the naming. Rounds out pretty easily with the wrong tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty simple to make out of your spare nuts/bolts collection. i can do ya one better, i used a long headed 14mm bolt from a ea82 w ac and cut the threads off. AND i painted it red. bummer is, subaru used like 3 different bolts for that in different years and you cant get a socket on all of them, just the one kind:rolleyes: oem toolkit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rounds out pretty easily with the wrong tool. Perhaps... For I bought the tool for exactly that purpose. However it works well without any tendency to round in the stated usage. Have used it on six occassions (3 engines). O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
