JustinOlson Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Where can you buy the triple point that is long enough to get at the cylinder head bolts. I'm trying to pull the head off of my 2JZGE, but am having lots of problems. I was hoping that someone could help me out. The MAC set I have is too short to reach down in the head and get at the bolts. Regards, Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
het976 Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I don't know where you can buy one, but you can borrow mine if you need to use one for a bit...OH wait...sorry, forgot you don't have the L28...nevermind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlderThanMe Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Toyota should have the tool right? I'm guessing it is one of those expensive specialty tools... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinOlson Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yep Thats it. I found one at napa for $6. Justin ^^^ Good call Chemicalblue. Is this the one? #10 double hex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeamNissan Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Yep Thats it. I found one at napa for $6. Justin Be care full with napa, one of those broke on me while torquing down a head AT CORRECT SPECS and its just snapped on me. That lead to a lovely bone reveling gash(or 2) and a smashed hand I could barely move for a week. Keep in mind I always wear mechanic gloves too. I'll never buy napa hand tools again. On a side note that scarred me as well lol, I wrap a towel around my hand when ever I do serious torquing or loosening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch. I'm curious if it snapped at one of the sockets or just the shaft...not that it matters I guess. I bet the Snap-On will not snap-off.

Evan Purple240zt Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Anything can break, thats for sure. I sheared off a 1/2 inch to 3/8 inch adapter on a breaker bar that was 18" long. I was putting a wheel on! It was def. less then 100ft/lb. It was a craftsman pos unit. Always protect your hands, I was lucky. Try to PULL instead of PUSH when you are really forcing something. Your less likely to fall forward with the weight of your body. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
het976 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Pulling works, except when you are laying on your back and it breaks and you smack youurself in the mouth with the end of the breaker bar and split your lip...speaking from experiance.

Obviously pulling works WITHIN REASON. I was once using an open ended wrench to remove a seatbelt from a car. It was some chinese POS wrench. It slipped, and I gave myself a bloody nose. Worst part, was that my buddies all saw it happen. They laughed their asses off. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinOlson Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 I'm just trying to get the stock bolts out. I'm putting L19 ARP studs back in when the motor goes back together. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeamNissan Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 It was the shaft that broke. Just getting the stock out or not, be care full was my point. I was well under stock tq spec when mine snapped, hate to see the same happen to another. Ya thats another thing too I forgot to mention. Pulling, I always pull now too lol.

JustinOlson Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 Ah, I found out that my 2JZGE actually uses a 12mm triple square. Back to Napa I go to exchange the 10mm unit. Thanks for the words of warning. I will be careful not to hurt myself. Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
