Removing 7/16" Square Pegs to fit heater pipes / system


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

After a bit of advice please.

 

I am currently fitting a full heater system to my TR4.

Everything is pretty much in-place, except I need to remove the two 7/16" square pegs (one in head for heater valve, and the other at back of water pump housing for return line) to fit the final pipework.

 

What's the best tool to use to remove these?

 

Appreciate any advice from those that have tackled this already.

 

Thanks,

Grant.

Grant,

 

If you are desperate I have sucessfully undone 7/16 square pegs which are not easy to access with a makeshift tool.

 

Cover peg with grease (adhesive) place small washers on two faces (or more) of the peg to act as shims held in place with the grease. Invert a 1/2" socket extension bar and place the socket over the peg.

 

My torque wrench has a 1/2" square bar drive which can be removed and the torque wrench fitted over the square end of the socket extension. Or the hard metal of a socket extension works better with an adjustable wrench than the peg itself.

 

But no argument that a four point socket would be the best.
