Anyone know what kind of socket you need to remove the connecting rod nuts?

Also, what size?

I only use black oxide - because in space the plating doesn't get vacuumed off.

Stupid me... now I know why all my box wrenchs and the stupid second set of sockets are "12 pt."

I'v just never seen a 12 pt. bolt before.

Anywho... needless to say, I got the bolts off and the pistons are out... for those of you who really give a flying F.

Thanks for the help.
