Title: fork cap bolt size
Post by TZK on 04/16/22 at 11:18:24

Yes I've searched and couldn't find the answer. What size wrench is needed to remove the fork caps on a 2005 S40? I'd like to drain the forks and refill with fresh oil.

Break out you wrenches/sockets, and keep trying them until you find one that fits. I’d go measure mine for you, but I have aftermarket caps that are likely a different size.

That would work fine if I actually had one that fits.

Just trying to avoid 2 or more trips to the hardware store.

I tried both Home Depot and my local auto parts store. They were both out of metric crescent wrenches. Coincidentally they were also out of metric screw drivers, blinker fluid, headlight oil and smoke shifters. ;)
