ARP crank bolt....what size wrench?
Hey guys, I'm trying to turn my motor over by hand but seeing as I have a C5 I'm unable to utilize a socket/ratchet with the steering rack in place.
I can however use a wrench, yet I'm unable to remember the 12 point size needed??
Any help is appreciated!

On the 45 degree angles you can go a little more for extra room.

1 1/16 and 27mm both work. Just used a box end 27mm for the engine I built. The box end has a slight angle on it that gives you enough contact to turn the engine over, but not for bolt removal/torque. Just curious as to what owning a f body has to do with it

Is it possible for anyone with an F-body to check for me?
TIA!

I don't believe that the steering shaft is in the way on F-bods whereas the Vette has the steering rack about an inch away thus causing a problem for simply removing bolt or turning the engine over...
Thanks for the help guys!

No worries guys...I pulled the fuel pump relay/fuse and turn the car over...
I had a good feeling that the setup had plenty of room and I was right...
Please do not use this method if you have any thoughts of it being close!
Thanks for the replies though....you guys are the best!
