Where can you buy a 7/32 wrench for the drip rails.

[rs74]

At least I think that is the size to take the screws out of the drip rails. I have looked every where for some place to sell them and have it on hand. Snap on truck, harbor freight, lowes, o'reillys, walmart. No where. I have a wrench but it is a box end and I need an open end. Frustrating of all the tools I have I don't have the one I need. Time to buy a set of tiny size wrenches.

I bought a set from Sears years ago. It came as an ignition wrench set like this one. It comes in a little black and clear bag for around $20.

I popped my drip rail molding off and used a socket to take the molding retainer off.

I agree that is the only way I was able to get it.

Thanks I was looking for individual wrenches. For $20 I will just buy that set if they still have it. I will look to see if my local Sears carries it.

I didn't know it came off like that. I have never done that before.

I used a tiny cresent wrench that goes on a key chain to get mine off

I think that it was the most odd ball size they could have put in there. They could have atleast put a more common size in it.

Yes, once you take the molding off, the retainer is notched at every spot there is a screw holding it on, so you can use a socket.

For those who aren't aware, the drip rail is two pieces. The outer stainless molding which you see and the retainer, which is screwed down.

Look at the diagram on the top right.

its more odd ball size than you think.......at least mine are and some Ive pulled at the junk yard all 5.5 mm ....not 5mm or 6mm most parts stores have down to 6mm after 6 places i found the set at sears.....i pulled one off a sub that had larger than 5.5 but dont know if they were factory or not, may be different yrs for the difference

for reference my truck is an 88 crew and this last weekend I pulled three good ones off an 86 burb all 5.5 mm
