Eddie44 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Anybody else wanna join us? From Gary's directions it doesn't sound like a difficulty job, just needing the right tools. I'm going to Sears today to see about a 33 and 34mm sockets. I figure it's something that should probably be checked on a regular basis.Well I found the 33/34mm sockets. Sears doesn't stock them, Checker doesn't stock them. I finally found them at AutoZone.Here's a good "loose nut" thread from CF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie44 Posted November 3, 2007 Share Posted November 3, 2007 My nuts came in the mail today. I figured just for chuckles I'd check the size (33mm or 34mm). Both are a sloppy 34mm and 33mm won't even come close to fitting. I think what some have posted on CF may be true. I think the nuts are actually a 1 and 15/16" size. Go figure, who'd think GM would do something like that???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 The results are:Mikey - tight to specsEddie - passenger side slightly looseRobert & Elizabeth - passenger side very looseJack - both sides loose but passenger side worse than driversSince mine were almost to specs I have two new nuts if anyone needs them. I also have the 33/34mm sockets but I think a 1 5/16 would be a better fit. Any C6 owners that want to check their nuts can call me or PM me and it will take about 10 mins max to check them. I plan on checking them every time I change the oil from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert and Elizabeth Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 We had a great time today at Eddie's house. I think we chatted it up pretty good, eh? We all finally got a chance to meet Vettski, a newby. I would say it was a successful day with fixing our nuts and Jack's. Robert handed back Eddie his nuts and said he has never held another man's nuts before! Here is our contribution....Here is Jack un-torquing his driver's side nut.....Here is Eddie pointing to Jack's driver's side nut....Here is what it looks like with the nut off....Here is Jack adding lok-tite to his nut area......Here is everyone just hanging out while Jack was working with his nuts (you get the picture!).....
