ok during my rebuild ive hit a snag, it calls for a special tools. i
dont know if any of you have seen the engine teardown manuals on
tearstone.com but i am using them along with 2 manuals i have. the part
numbers on tearstone manuals is

MD998783 oil plug socket
MD998162 oil plug socket retainer

Im trying to remove the very flat oil plug right behind the balance
shaft gear. kinda star shaped, looks like a very flat gear

I went to advance auto and they rarely ever really know much of what
theyre talking about so they coudlnt help me, I need to know where i
can get these two tools.

 

THIS THING?

 

YES!!!!

there is also a retainer to hold that in place while the socket turns it.
