Rad valve hose clamp hex size? Update: 9/32”

Post by JZ05220r »

Anyone know what size hex I need to remove the hose clamp supplied with the rad valve? The phillips is stripped. I need to remove the carb off one of my kdx’s to try on another. I have found the correct size in the past, 6mm won’t fit and 7 mm is too big.

Tried both, 1/4” too small, 5/16” too big. I think it’s a 9/32”.

9/32” is the correct size for the clamps.
