wrench size and solution
 

can somebody please tell me the allen wrench size I need for the barrel nuts attaching the starter motor to the transmission?

I also need a good wrench to get the hex nut off the transmission connecting it to the motor. The driver side nut has no room to move the wrench. Anyone have a good solution to this while the motor is out of the car and exhaust is still attached to motor?

thanks in advance.

(and yes, I looked for the nut on the website and couldn't find it.)

I do think it is allen socket 10mm (no more than 12mm) for the starter barrel nut.
For the hex nut, it is a 15mm wrench, polished, long handle, slightly bent, bought from Sears.

sweet. easy answer. thanks. I'll make a sears stop tonight.

Its NOT 12mm, I know that for sure. I'm 99% sure its 10 mm. 12 mm is extremely hard to find which I found out working on my rear spring plates. I finally found a place in Tulsa that sells 12mm and MUCH larger "allen" or hex wrenches singly, along with a lot of other hard to find stuff.
