Socket Size

Post by spookefoote1956 »

I'm trying to remove the front disk on my JS125e. The bolt hex heads are being a pain. 8mm socket slides off and 7mm socket is too tight. Is there an imperial socket size midway which will give me that Goldilocks moment? :? :? :? :?

Cheers, Chris

Hi Chris

9/32" AF is mid way but not a common size - are you using hex sockets as opposed to bi hex? they are more forgiving ;)

A 3BA socket is about 7.2mm A/F.
