Tools Questions
What size allen wrench do I need to change oil? I want to be sure I have the right size with T handle after I drill that hole.
Also, is there a special tool that makes removing those push pins easier. If not, what is the best way to pry them out without damaging them?
Thanks, Bert

Hi Bert. It is nice to see more spyderlovers doing work on their Spyders. I do a lot of my own work also, and I find the shop manual really helps identify the proper tools, but equally important, the torque requirements for fasteners. If you are interested in continuing to take care of your RT, even to a small degree, you may find the manual handy.
As for the tools you will need for the RT, I will let the RT experts chime in, as I have an RS. But I do believe they share many of the same tools.
Also, not sure if you have your new RT panel for accessing the oil tank, but should be available to you, making RT oil changes easier.
Hope that helps.
Cheers.

As said, 5mm. I love to wrench but seldom use the torque wrench on smaller bolts. A slightly wrong set torque wrench can easily ruin your day! (don't ask how I know). I fell much better doing it with my internal torque wrench. As for the T handles, I have seal floorboards and drilling the hole Lamonster instructs doesn't work for me. The floorboards make it impossible to use the T handle.
besides. it is fun removing the tupperware. Its kind of like a jigsaw puzzle!
