Question HD Oil Cooler Question

Question to anyone who has installed the HD oil cooler. What size allen key did you have to use to screw in the oil filter threaded adapter. I cant seen to find an allen key to fit right.
Any ideas!
Thanks HiTech

Allen key is a large one..I did a search on the forum and found that the head of a 1/4" bolt was perfect. double nutted the threads and was able to use a socket on it.

It takes a 7/16. I did the bolt with two nuts trick to put it on but when I needed to remove it (leaking oil) that trick did not work. It took a bit of searching but I found one.

Use a 7/16 all thread coupler to tighten it.

I've looked for one of these everywhere (Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace) and couldn't find one. They seemed to have every OD except 7/16". Where did you find yours?
