that sounds about right. it's snowing here or i'd cheak for ya
 






well i think its 2 different sizes... one is a 15 i think.. i don't remember the other though.
 






I think 15mm and 17mm.. Maybe can't remember.. Its been too long..
 






I think one is 16 and one is 13 or 14 ;)

Yeah, I always forget too!
 






HAHAHAHAHA on the older Ex's it's 18mm so it looks like you better just grab all your metric sockets nad wrench's!!
 






dangit.. oh well.. i think i'll just pull the range from about 13 to 18. i know its in there somewhere. i'll have all the tools with me, i just wanted to keep those two out handy. :D
 






Dude on my truck it is a 18mm box wrench and a 18mm 12 point 1/2" drive. Mine is a 88 BII with 93 Explorer sway bars, and a Ranger 8.8 bar in the back so I know you IFS guys are a little different........


I got sick of doing it that way, so I went to the hardware store and made up some clevis pin quick disco's. Last week when I went wheeling I drove to the edge of the trial, got out, unhooked one rear and both fronts in about 5 minutes. Still got a little dirty but no big deal. Worked like a CHAMP!!!

There is nothing "quick" about putting them back in though, especially with 6" of snow on the ground......
