I am going to attempt to take my sway bars off of the vehicle whenever I'm allowed to head to the junkyard where it was hauled off to (I rolled the G5... so its done). However, I forgot what bolt sizes the rear TTR swaybar and the front strut towers need. I'd rather not get down there and realize that I don't have the necessary sockets to remove these parts.

I'm quite familiar with all the interior items, so I won't need those bolt sizes.

Thanks!

Don't you have a basic socket set?

Use a basic six point socket set and that will be good enough whether the nuts are English or Metric.

yeah how hard is it to bring a set with you?

My socket set is a mismatched mess tbh. Some of them are missing.

Well go to your local auto supply shop and buy cheap six point socket set, 3" extension and ratchet. Do not get a twelve point. The tolerance with cheap sets can be excessive, and you may "round off" the points of a nut, if the socket spins. Not to mention rounding off the points in the cheap socket. Or you can invest in a quality set of twelve point Snap-on sockets worth more than four times the price of the items you're attempting to salvage.

I'm not going to be near a store that is open at the hour I will be leaving. I am also going to be pressed for time (due to work), so I'd like to be able to remove these parts as fast as possible. I have a good number of items to remove, so I want to make the exterior stuff quick.

I know its a least a 15mm and smaller than 18mm

So bring those two and the sizes in between you'll be set

Thank you. That is an answer I was looking for.

whyyoumadson?

my answer was more accurate.

Nighthawk243

Yes, but realisticly inadequate. I doubt TTR will even be open by 8AM EST this morning. I live in Pennsylvania, we live in 1699 where nobody is open on saturday/sunday or after 4:30PM on weekdays.

15MM 6 point socket will be best...
