rumor has it that [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
Assume engine drain plug has never been removed.
Questions:,
1. Best way to access from above or below?;
Above. It is right near the tail of the starter on OM616 engines
2. Size of drain plug, looks to be between 17 mm and 20 mm what is
it please?
It is a 19mm standard hex head plug
3. Is there rachet extention set combo that will work?
On my OM616s, I can just reach in from under the air cleaner. No
extensions necessary!
4. The drain plug does it need a seal or some thread puddy when you
reinstall it.
I believe it has a sealing washer. I _think_ it's practically the same
size as the one used for the oil pan - but I'm not sure about that...
5. If it has not been removed will it take a gorrilla from the
Bronz Zoo to do it?
I have removed many of them, and I don't recall any of them suprising
me about how tight they were...
Anything else you can share please. Want to flush the right way.
