My error, you guys were right, it's a 36mm. I have learned that the measured diameter of a 36mm socket is greater than 36mm! |

36mm is too small on my 78 GT4...must have been beefier back then. Back to Napa it goes... |

Russ - it's a 36mm bolt, but try Paul's way. It's not quite as precise because of gear lash, but it works fine. Also, it should be in 1st gear. |

My (vague) recollection is also "36mm" (1978) -- but too many years have passed... |

The socket I use on my '76 308GTB is 36 millimeters. It's possible that they vary between model years. |

Russ if you leave the car in gear and jack up both wheels you can rotate the engine by turning the wheel hub, so no need of a wrench. Just another method, if you don't have the socket. |

What size is the big bolt that secures the pulley to the end of the crank? Looks like 40mm but need to be sure before I buy another tool I don't have a use for. |
