Anyone know what size bolts are in the o chit bar that is on the driver and passenger sides? I've spent about an hour trying to get them off tried every socket I have and it doesn't work, Anyone got a size. Thanks

 

I know when I did the cab lights and then again when I replaced my driver's side pillar cover for the pod one, I used a socket that was a part of my 1/4" set, so it wasn't anything "special".

I would have guessed smaller, but this is straight from the Mopar manual:

1. Pull the rubber door molding away from the A pillar location. Fig. 17
2. Using a pick tool, pry open the screw covers on the plastic A pillar covers to reveal the 10mm bolts. Fig. 18
3. Remove the bolts and the A pillar covers.

 

I was thinking 5/16 but I might be wrong.

 

You know 'Weed had I guessed it, I woulda said the same thing. For some reason 5/16" stuck out in my mind as well. If you'll look at my post, I said I would have guessed smaller.

BUT a 5/16" is almost exactly an 8mm. If the OP was using an SAE set, there is no real equivalent to a 10mm head, with 3/8" being just barely over 9mm and 7/16" being almost exactly 11mm. Could be the manual is correct at 10mm and it would explain why he ain't got nuthin' to fit...

 

10 mm is what I use on mine.

 

10mm I guess it it then. I dont know for sure but that number was the first that came to my mind.

 

And that would explain why i don't have one that fits, thanks guys.

 

You work on a vehicle nowadays, you gotta have an SAE and a Metric in EVERYTHING. I haven't bought a single set of wrenches or sockets or torx bits or basically anything in years. I have all matching pair sets of both... LOL...

 

Yeah what's up with that?? Back in the day, when I had my El Camino (70), everything on that car was std. Nowadays, these vehicles are made with both metric and std. it seems. It can be very frustrating, but like Hammer said, you need a set of both.

 

I feel like every damn thing on my truck is 10mm.
