Search turned up nada; FSM, Haynes and How to Rebuild turned up nada.

I don't have the appropriate sized sockets or wrenches. I am going to buy 2 of this size.

I have sockets up to 17 mm and I specifically bought a 27 mm socket so I could turn the engine manually.

I have two rachets, a complete set of box wrenches, a breaker bar and a torque wrench.

What I don't have are the larger size sockets hence my question.

Thanks.


Which bolts on the front control arms? Webdawg is right that up through 17 will do you for most/all of it - but I can't remember what the big pivot bolt nut size is where the control arm mounts to the crossmember. It may be 19mm. It is either 17 or 19. There aren't too many things bigger than 17mm on a Z, but there are a few. Generally, 10, 12, 14, and 17 will do you, with an occasional 19.

It's the pivot bolt nut and bolt head. The 17 mm socket is too small.

I have already removed the T/C rod, endlinks, sway bar, brake caliper, and rotor/hub assembly. Prior to removing the outter tie rod (18 mm castellated nut), I want to make sure that I have all of the tools to complete the disassembly of my front suspension.

Thank you for the replies.
