    There are three nuts and the 14mm is too small. Is it a 15 ? I don't have one so I want to buy the right socket. A 9/16" is close but I don't want to round off the edges. Help appreciated.

    Most Toyotas an be completely disassembled with a 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm, and 19mm.
    IIRC the correct socket for the manifold bolt head IS 14mm, so if its not fitting I dunno.

    It was 14... I had the wrong socket and couldn't see the 12 on the side....old age plus vision. You guys enjoy youth and hope you are around long enough to start losing good health :love:
    Thanks

    One reason why I love my cheap Harbor Freight sockets - they're colored/anodized and are 6pt instead of 12pt. Very easy to find the right size once you get used to which is the 12mm and 14mm, my two most used sizes on a Toyota. My nicer more expensive Craftsman set barely has any wear on them, go figure.
