Just installed a new set of headlights and they are probably going to need adjusting. Looked through all of my tools and all I had was a long 4mm socket. So I stopped by Sears and the smallest combo wrench they carry is 6mm. Any idea where to get one outside of probably Snap-on or one of those other expensive companies??

 

Instead of using a 4mm wrench I just used a 4mm socket and a pair of channel locks. I tried to use the socket with a low clearance rachet but it didn't fit, so I had to either use the channel locks or vise grip to grab hold of the socket.

 

Craftsman has a set of little wrenchs called ignition wrenchs...they are like $20 for a set of 10 at sears (you can get them a lot cheaper on ebay.) The metric set has 4mm wrench in it (the set has a 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6 THRU 11MM in it.) I have both the metric and SAE set and use them a lot more than I though I would.

 

PHS79: Thought about that but there isn't enough clearance to get the socket on the stud.

RamSS/T: They guy at Sears pointed those out but said they don't go down that small.

I just checked Lowes, Home Depot, Advance, and Auto Zone and none carry a 4mm. Guess I'll figure another way to do it without stripping the head.

 

Well he didnt know what he was talking about:

I have that set and I can tell you there is a 4mm wrench in there....the set is in a little plastic bag.

 

Just use an adjustable wrench.

 

X2 I have the same set with a 4mm socket in it and they work fine.

 

i have something similar to this....i got it from the snap on tool truck that comes to my work.......
