IAC Socket Tool

Does anyone have the special socket needed to change out the IAC on a V6?

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

Um, yes, but it's a bit of a drive.

I have gotten mine off with channel locks, but you may have something in the way.

I changed one a couple of decades ago and I think I used channel locks.  I have a small pair that gives me better swing than the larger pair, but the throttle body coolant lines are really in the way of anything. 

I'll just order one from Rodney.

Figured they'd be in the way.

So, now, I have an IAC socket for loan.
