does anyone know what size the neutral switch is on a 6 speed? Cannot get to it to measure and a 24mm is too small

it is 'adjustable spanner' sized (which is somewhat larger than 'plier sized')

once it's loose, it comes out easy with your fingers.

I used a crescent wrench on both. You can't use a socket without pinching the wires though right?

Thanks guys. It is a 27mm for future reference. I couldn't get any wrenches on it. Picked up a set from Harbor Freight cut out for Diesel injectors and other (O2) sensors.

Harbor Freight is not as cheap as I thought.

Cheaper than Snap-On?
