Hello Jacques,
Thank you for your reply and for posting the detailed information. an 1 1/2 inch hex socket fitted perfectly. I have learnt the lesson about using hex sockets on high torque items instead of 12 pointers. Especially, after the 12 pointers butchered a couple of flex-plate nuts when I previously had tried to remove a torque converter. One reconditioned torque converter later....an expensive lesson it turned out to be! Unfortunately, with the new socket I was able to prove the engine's previous owner's theory; that the motor is seized after it sat idle for a number of years. Pouring a mixture of diesel and liquid lanolin penetrant down the diesel injector holes a fortnight ago did not work miracles. Kind regards Lionel
