o.k. i'm taking the crank out of an early 99 7.3. the last thing i need to do to get this engine out of garage and a 15mm 5/8 is to big, and the 14mm 9/16 is too small. what size is it? thanks

If you have used a 14mm,15mm....a 9/16,5/8.You have used all the sizes I know of.There is no other size bolts within your given specs.Are the bolts 12pt or something.I have never pulled the pan on a 7.3.

the connecting rods are 12 point but the main caps are 6 and i tried both 6 and muilty point. i thought it might be one of those odd ball sizes like a 11/32 or something
