Q: is there a certain wrench size or tool for cam shaft sensor?
Got a code to replace camshaft sensor. using a 5.5mm wrench to remove the nuts but does not seem to grasp well and started to strip. a smaller size does not fit (5mm). Is there a special tool that can be used to grasp better? or is there a certain wrench size I should be using other than 5.5mm? thanks
