Default HELP a brutha out...

LMOST done with my setup. Everything is on except for the feed line for the turbo. I can't get the damn oil sending unit thing off the back of the block. I'm working with jack stands so there isn't much room anyway and I've already removed the filter and the plug that goes onto the sending unit, but I can't get a damn thing in there to break it loose. It's bigger than all of my sockets and it's at just the right angle to where I can't get a good grip with a wrench... Anyone have some advise? My parents are kind of pissed that I haven't rolled this beast out of the garage yet. I keep telling them that works of art take time but they don't buy it...

I would try getting a swivel adapter and the right socket.The last thing you want to do is break something.

No 15/16 or a 24mm? Damn, that sucks. Your only options are either get the right sized socket or grab onto that bitch with a pair of channel locks and give it hell.

*****... i've got a 29/32 and a 31/32...how's that for luck...I'll see if my papa(grandpa) has it, he travels with an arsenal of tools and guns.

I've got another quandry, There's two fans on my radiator(crx), do I need the right side fan(one close to a/c) if I've already removed the a/c or is it there for other accessories?

this sucks...

You don't need the one on the passenger side if you removed the A/C. Why don't you remove the condenser if you removed the rest of the A/C?

Now that I think about it, is that a full size radiator? If the fan on the passenger side is actually on the radiator and not the condenser, you should keep it.
