TB removal and then some!!! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

So taking a suggestion from Jerry to use a 6 point socket or box wrench to remove the oil hose connectors.... I ordered 2 sockets from Amazon....assuming they were metric....I ordered a 28mm and and
29mm 6 point sockets....finally got them this AM....(first set got lost)....
Now this may be common knowledge too many.......the 28mm is too small and the 29mm fits....but not 100% snug fit.....tried the 29mm and just didn't feel right....sprayed down the connectors with PB Blast and then used a 1 1/8" 12 point socket and a 12 point 1 1/8" box wrench (I don't have 6 points in that size)....they both fit perfect and 100% snug....no movement....
So with my trusty hammer....broke both loose and removed...
Again....may be common knowledge...but for those attempting this for the first time....hope this helps...
The following pics show the tools used and I tried to take close ups of how the connector fits in both sockets...
First pic....what I used...
Second pic....the 29mm 6 pt socket...
Third pic....the 11/8" 12 pt socket....20190902_123617.jpg 20190902_123945.jpg 20190902_124004.jpg
