Default Urgent!! 18mm ?!?!?!


What size are the bolts holding the engine cradle to the chasis? As far as we can tell they are 18 mm. However we have checked everyplace we could find, and there is no 18 mm socket out there! Please help!!

Sears either didnt have an 18 mm or nobody could find it (including employees). However we ended up finding an 18 mm in a clearance bin @ lowes.

American car, but almost all cars made use metric sizes for the parts anymore. I went out and bought a set of metric wrenches this weekend because I have never really needed them.

Glad you found one.

I can't believe sears didn't stock a 18mm socket.
