Me too, it bent my allen key.91TSiGuy said:It should be an 8mm allen key you'll need. I had to remove the plug for the Turbo Trix line I installed. And it is a pain in the ass too, if it's corroded in there.
I second that! It took us like 30 minutes of pullling, pushing, and cussing to get it loose.91TSiGuy said:I actually broke my allen key, but it was a cheaply made one. We ended up borrowing a snap-on socket with replaceable allen key tips from a local mechanic and used a breaker bar along with heat to finally break it loose. This is definitely a job where you want to use the right, quality tools for the job.
I'm not sure about the 2G, the 2G oil feed line already comes from the oil filter housing.Zelite5 said:Hmm, so is 8mm right? I'm going to do this next week, and want to have the right tools on hand (I do have an allen wrench set; I just want a quality one for this part).
You'll just have to remove the stock line from the oil filter housing. I cut the stock oil line right at the bolt, then fit a socket over the large bolt and took it out. The other way to do it is to put a line wrench on the small nut and then remove it, then take the large one out.Zelite5 said:Hmm, so is 8mm right?

But if he has an oil leak, it will catch fire.jw said:Use the torch to heat it up will help removing the allen plug. It has some seal on it that makes it hard to come off.
