Capillary Nut Removal Tool

HOME

Buy a cheap spark plug socket of proper size (13/16, 6 point). These sockets often come with motorcycles, chainsaws, lawn mowers, etc. Buy the type you place a screwdriver through crossways to turn.

You will need to then cut a slot through the socket, lengthwise from top to bottom, using a die grinder with a cut off wheel attachment. This will allow the tube to feed through the center of the socket, allowing it to be slid over the capillary tube nut. Use a screwdriver to turn the socket.

You may need to place a heater hose clamp over the socket to keep it from spreading and slipping on the nut. You can take the thermostat housing off the head and spray penetrating oil around the inside of the capillary tube and nut and that may help.
