Where does one buy that oil filter socket that the dealer usese to change the oil on the balts ? The dealer told me they dont carry it ? So ......... ??

 

i just got one from the local auto parts store. forget what size it was exactly.

 

1 1/2" socket, usually has a 1/2" drive

 

Its a 1 1/4" socket. Its so huge, I guess a 6 point 1 1/2" socket would work too. The actual size is 1 1/4" though.

Sears carries it.

 

32mm 6 point, snap on wants like $30 for one, get one at an auto store for like $5.

 

I juse use a 12 point 1 1/4" socket with a extension

 

32mm = 1 1/4"

most any auto parts store or hardware store has it

 

I got mine off the snap-on truck.

 

So 1 1/4 inch will fit perfect ?? Do i want a 6 piont or 12 piont ? I'd think like said above the 6 piont would be the best. Is that correct !

Thanks for the help !!

 

Put me on the 1 1/4" boat. 6 or 12 doesn't matter, just get whatever's cheaper.

 

do balts have the screw on filters or canister ones?

 

We have a catridge insert that connects to a screen in cap

 

They have a plastic screw on cover on-top of the motor. Attached/underneath that cover is the paper filter element.

I don't quite understand your question but I hope that answers it.

 

If you look on eBay you will see a whole bunch listed for the Ecotecs. They are a "slim" design to make life easier. Nice and CHEAP as well. Here is a link to one.....
