Help! quick question!!!!
 
I'm doing tghe LT4 KM and I'm disconnecting my battery. What size socket is the negative terminal?

BigEvil Mar 15, 2003 10:12 AM

If you HAVE to avoid trying a few different size sockets...:D ...it took a 9mm for mine.

David96Z Mar 15, 2003 10:14 AM

It is 8mm

95TA8280 Mar 15, 2003 10:42 AM

My socketi s too long.....can I just do it with my hand real quickly?

BigEvil Mar 15, 2003 11:02 AM

Mine was too.
I had to use an open end wrench.
The 8mm was too tight so I had to go with 9mm.
You can try by hand, hope you ate your wheaties
;)

I ended up using the 8MM.......the terminal was too loose, so the ratchet wasn't really doing anything because it wasn't lined up. So I used my hand just to hold the socket as I spun it. I did it, finally.

When I used a 8MM a few times it stripped mine, so I got some new bolts and now use a 5/16, it's a snugger fit.

5/16" will work.
