I need to get the oil filter bolt off the housing to put my stainless steel oil feed line. Ive broke 2 stanley sockets, 2 3/8-1/4 adapters, and a wrench. I used a can of pb blaster and still nothing. Just trying to get 8mm hex bolt off any suggestions?

What size bolts are the oil return tube for a t-25? Thanks.
 
No substitution for the right tools, almost : ) . I am assuming you are trying to take out the inverted hex bolt? You actually need the hex socket because it's in there pretty damn tight. I recommend buying quality tools, but if you only need the hex sockets just for this then you can get them from Harbor Freight or your nearest flea market for about $5 or $6 a set. I looked online for you and there's 3 Harbor Freights in WV(don't know how to post links). Option 2 is buy just that 8 mm hex socket from auto parts store or sears for about $7-$10. I have other creative ways that work, but I suggest sticking to Option 1 or 2 before you break something.
