Y-Guys:       A little help out there in "Y"land. I'm about to prime my engine

             oil pump and I need to know the size 1/4 inch socket to use. It seems

             to be 9/32 but it's hard to tell with the engine in the truck. I don't  want

             to mess it up now, since I've come this far.

                                                      Thx in advance

        It turns counter-clock wise, right??

I believe it is 1/4" It does turn counterclockwise.



You got the video camera on?

                     calls it!!! I'll try the 1/4", but it seems to be a no-go. I'll try again.

Hi Bill,  Charlie is right of course, it is a 1/4".  But I've found that some sockets are too thick-walled and won't go down into the hole far enough to hook up with the pump driveshaft.  Be sure you have a thin socket, like a Snap-on.  Good luck, Nick Brann - K.C., MO

Hi Bill;;   Word of caution, I wrap a small piece of tape around the socket and extention, don't want that socket coming of and droppin' down...   Good luck and HAVE FUN!!     God Bless   Eddie

Bill, too late now, but I will give you a old dist that you can strip down and make a priming tool out of it.

Use a DEEP or extended length socket AND tape it .

  

1/4" to be sure.  I have a deep one welded to a long extension just for that purpose.
