Title: 1.6 NA A/C Compressor Hex Key sizes
Post by: ohc on July 21, 2009, 07:16:30 pm

Anyone know the two hex sizes for the pivot points holding the AC Compressor. Hopefully can save me a couple skates to the hardware store.

Thanks.

Should be 8mm and 6mm IIRC.

if your just loosening to adjust the belt, don't completely back them out, because they are a pain to get back in (hard to line up...)

you can buy a set of 12 hex sockets from harbor freight for 12.99 and it should have the sizes you need.

Mine are 6 and 10.
And to get timing things done, i don't need the AC compressor out, just the belt off, correct?
