Kohler Carb Fuel Inlet Removal

[nashcub]

Anyone have any suggestions on what tool is best to remove the fuel inlet seat out of a Kohler carb?

Nothing I have seems to work, so I just want to buy the correct tool for the job. Was thinking a thin-wall socket or nut-driver. Did not know if there is a better solution?

Thanks!
Steven

Steven, I'm thinking we are going to have to take a standard socket and turn it down, there's not much clearance in there from what I remember.

I use a craftsman nut driver on mine.

I use one of those high quality 50 piece China socket sets they you can get at the China tool outlet for $ 4.99.

Here ya go Steve, I just took a grinder to a socket.

Thanks, All!

I dug through another tool box and found a nut driver that works perfectly!

Sminkey's way is the cheapest by just grinding down a cheap socket. I bought one from Snap-On a long time ago that was made for close clearances.

Sweet glad it worked for you!

I have always used an easy-out to remove them. Tap it down in the center of the fuel seat and slap a tap wrench or crescent wrench on the end and they come out with ease.
