1⅜" Wrench
Silly question. Is there anywhere on a Model A that uses a 1⅜" wrench besides the Ratchet Nut on the crankshaft pully. trying to determine if I need a 1⅜" open end wrench. Thanks

Re: 1⅜" Wrench
It's best to purchase the special socket from either Brattons or Snyders. And to the best of my knowledge no it's only the crankshaft pulley nut that requires that size. Dave

Re: 1⅜" Wrench
Trivia: Ive only run on to ONE car, that had a L/H threaded crank pulley bolt! FORGOT what it was. Anyone know about them?
TIP: I ran onto a Surplus Store, here in town, that buys BARRELS of "reject", Major Brands of tools, they grind off the BRAND Name, Cad plate & sell them VERY REASONABLE!--Ask around about them, in your area! Bill W.

Re: 1⅜" Wrench
You can get a socket onto the crankshaft pulley bolt then run a socket extension through the crank handle hole and attach your ratchet drive handle in front of the radiator.....

Re: 1⅜" Wrench
Years ago I purchased a short socket from Snap On tools to fit the crankshaft nut. It was expensive but most sockets that size are too long to fit that space. Ed

This wrench works great to 'nudge' the engine while checking your timingI have a tool box in the front and can not use a crank. Last edited by Ruth; 06-24-2018 at 11:10 AM. |

Re: 1⅜" Wrench
If you take a little time, even a regular Propane Torch will heat a wrench enough to BEND it.

No heat, just cut then end off to get it out the way.

Re: 1⅜" Wrench
My socket is an S & K #40144, 1/2 drive and 1 7/8 tall, it goes over the crank ratchet easily.
