Re: shift cable tool size

what bondo meant to say is that the newer merc cable are made so the plastic guide tube screws off and you use a regular socket
then screw it back it.If your not using oem cable , leave the plastic tube alone and use a very deep 9/16 thinwall socket or weld a donor socket to one to make a deep socket.
