Tool for coolant block drain on FJ60? (1 Viewer)

they are commonly called "pipe plug sockets". use that parameter and you'll speed up your goggle search

thanks ..

would all the variants of the 1/79-10/85 40 series gas tank drain plugs fall under this category as well , as they use a steel or copper crush ring and are flanged type service plugs ?


- have you ever seen a metric kit / set out there ?


- maybe OTC makes one ?

I haven't needed a metric set yet but they are available. I use pipe plugs on air injection rails. It seems 3/8 and 10mm are close enough, as are 13mm and 1/2"
They are obviously out there, at least from the big boys. Frankly, I'm not sure the pipe plugs aren't actually SAE . Every air injection rail I've plugged used SAE
plugs and SAE hex or square drive. The grease plugs on the steering knuckles are 1/2" drive square not 13mm

If they are flanged with a gasket or copper crush ring ,they probably aren't a pipe plug. Probably just a metric thread with a hex drive.
The theory with pipe plugs in dependent on their taper. No gasket required

i am hunting hard as we speak for a worthwhile period correct JIS substitute for the NLA / Disc. 1/79-10/85 gas tank service plug specimen oem example i have had since high school below .......

- Toyota did use the Square Female style service plugs from 1962 - the 10/ 85 HJ47 pro-date circa. era-time-line ..

- not any more I do not think ?

- recessed female hex-style like you mention above is now global Toyota OEM standard across the board …

- also , fine threads verses coarse JIS thread pitch is at play here too …


so far no luck ...
