I'm trying to do a fan shroud mod and instantly hit a roadblock. I've seen somewhere the screws are 1.5mm hex key but none of my hex keys work. I don't want to strip the screws so I've not tried more than 2 times on two different hex keys on different screws and they just spin.

Could it be I just need to go buy new hex keys and try again? Or are they some weird size now that I can't remove them without a special size?

**Found the right bit. It's 1/16in not 1.5mm. (It's technically 1.5875mm)**

    Working on my 88 Ranger is always so fun (which is extremely rare thank you). The engine for most items is metric, accessories are standard and so is the frame and body.
