Trying to get this zinc off and cant get to the bolt holding it on.

I can't believe I am even having to ask this as I've done this before a few years ago on a similar drive. I have tried both deepwell 7/16 and 1/2".....9/16 wont fit down the hole. What am I missing?

Sometimes you have to use 1/4" drive sockets on them. 3/8" is to big.

most likely a 3/8 hex. however could be 7/16". I dont really remember. I usually pull the drive to make life easier. that way you can also take care of the waterpump.
