ARB pressure switch wrench?

[Cheesenip73]

Checking over my ARB ccompressor last night and found a minor leak that is enough to be annoying. It's the center pressure switch between the silanoid (sp) switches. It needs to be tighten more, but it does not have a regular hex headed shape for a common wrench. Here is a pic. It's not mine, but it is the same compressor. I rather not grab a channel lock or vise grip and make it ugly and tight. What have you used? Is there a special wrench?

So it looks like the solenoids need to come off to tighten the pressure switch. Dang!

I did remember it's Metric! Maybe the neighbor has deep metric sockets.

If he doesn't I do. Just let me know and I can bring them over with the BB-Q.

Yes, there is a socket for those pressure switches. You can find them on eBay and I'm sure many other online sources for a few dollars. In town... I'm not sure, maybe a big truck dealership or a really good tool store which can be difficult to find...

Update: went back to my own toolbox and brought out the 1 1/16 6 point deep socket. It worked. half twist and it holds great now! Thanks all.
I think the bronc is ready for BDM12. Now just need to fill up the fuel tank. Ouch!
