pugwash Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 I'm trying to remove the hydraulic motor from my milemarker winch, but it seems to need a 9mm hex key which seem to be extremely rare. as it's a yank piece of kit, is their an imperial measure which is slap bang between 8mm and 10mm?

If I remember rightly you want a 3/8" allen key for the milemarker. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bull Bar Cowboy Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Jim, Yes, 9mm Allen wrenches are readily available ……………… IIRC that is also the size of the LT77 fill plug. It’s a fair bet that the MM bolts are imperial heads as I know definitely that the threads are imperial…………… 9mm equates to 11/32 , but the most realistic size is probably 3/8 which is a shade under 9.5mm.

ciderman Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Jim , I have a 9mm 3/8drive hex socket if you need one , But if its Yanky sizes its more likely to be 5/16" or 3/8" wich I also have , If you need them let me know .
