Sometimes I have needed a metric socket or wrench because the crusty bolt would not take what should have been the correct SAE.
So I went straight to a box box store and bought one of those 180 piece sets in the plastic box along with a cheap set of common screwdrivers and few specific wrenches to do things like bar over a Lehman engine, etc.
I can’t find an SAE or metric socket to remove engine zinc on Volvo TMD41a engine. A friend loaned me her calipers and it’s 21.5mm!
Nothing seems to fit it. I’d like to find a socket but neither 21 or 22 work. My friend said to use a 6 sided type socket rather than 12 and can’t find it at auto part store. Any suggestions besides buying a boat with a Lehman?
I've bought a few 6-sided on eBay...
I paint mine with pink nail polish. That way they Always come home.
