I got a 1997 Camaro RS with a 3.8 V6, What sized socket do you use to get them off?

 

gonna venture a guess and say probably one of the 3 common sizes on the fbody
10mm, 13mm or 15mm

i'd put my $$ on the 10mm that is what my ls1 coil packs are

 

Okay I'll try 10's

anyone else got a guess?

I tried last night and couldn't get it to work...

 

10 or 7 or 8 mm. Those are the common sizes for coilpacks...in that area at least

Okay, I've tried 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, 5.5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm 11mm, 12mm... All of them no go! They won't lock or stay on. I got a question, is it the very HEAD they're trying to lock onto or that round cylendar below it thats burried into the coilpack?

Also how do you take out the entire module assembly?

 

the head

have you tried standards?

7/32,1/4,9/32 ?

 

I tried 1/4 but not 7/32 or 9/32 ... still no luck yet...

 

How can't you get a socket onto them? Are they by chance 12-point bolt heads that require a 12-point socket instead of a 6-point? Just a thought?

 

Finally got em off! Silly thing happened was that I was using the wrong end of the socket... 5.5mm or 7/32 worked.
