I lost my 7mm socket - permanently

I got fed up with fighting with the bolts that hold the coil packs in. Whaddya think?



I just screw them in with my fingers and give them a 1/4 turn with an open end wrench. Much easier. The one under the fuel pressure regulator was the biggest challenge, has a flexible shaft, works bitchin.

Here are pics of the screws themselves-

One looks like this-

Just send me an e-mail if you want a set.

AZ fun, my e-mail to you came back as undeliverable.
