Oil Cooler Line Fitting Wrench

[mrblue54]

Gents,
It appears that we have a leaking radiator, where the tank meets to core. Guessing that this is the original radiator and both oil cooler lines are leaking. Thus thinking that it would be best to replace the radiator and lines. It looks like a 20-mm wrench fits the line at the radiator. Anyone have a source for a wrench? Snap-On wants $67 for a wrench, ouch!

You can get a line wrench at the parts store. Hell even Craftsman at Sears.

I used Channel locks on mine (3 radiators now.... 2 trucks and one radiator had a leak in the one that had 2 radiators...)

Really lesterl? Channel locks? C'mon man!!!!!!!!!! LOL!

I use the channel locks a little more than I should, but if you use them right they work just fine.....

I know, I just was sharing my wisdom about line wrenches and then you come by and say "channel locks." LOL! Cracked me up!

Oh, yeah, I have an assortment of line wrenches, I just didnt have that one size so I made use of a good pair of that tool that shall not be named....

 

[MO Viet Vet]

Oh Bull$hit! You probably have it named and it's own special place in your tool box. LOL!

I resent the fact you think I named Charlene......

But I tell you what she is a real nut buster......

Crow's feet work well, crow's feet line wrenches work even more gooder!

Yeah, I like my line wrenches, but never seem to have quite the "right" size......
