Title: Cox .09
Post by: Rob Swider on February 20, 2010, 09:30:56 PM

Does anyone know of a source for the spanner wrenches needed to replace the glow head on Cox .09 engines?

Thanks,
Rob

Don't tell where you learned this, but you can take a pair of needle nose pliers, held vertically, stick the points in the slots and take the head on or off.  I probably have a spare wrench or two.  I'll check and PM you.

I never thought to use needle nose pliers.   :!   If you have a spare wrench, I'd be glad to buy it from you.

Thanks,
Rob

A pair of heavy duty snap-ring pliers will also work, and let you get better leverage / control than a pair of needle nose pliers held vertically.

Visa grips held horizontally will suffice.
