Rebuilding my ct-26

I used to be a jet engine mechanic for a living. I would say that for the rebuild kit if it includes a new compressor wheel then your trimmed compressor wheel would have to be saved or get the new one trimmed as well. As for the nut I dont think they make a 18pt or 24pt socket or nut but it might be 12pt. Jet engines are a lot like turbos in a sense and they use a ton of 12pt nuts everywhere. Easier to torque and that kind of stuff. Go to sears and get a set of metric 12pt sockets. If they dont fit may be a SAE never know they are funny sometimes.
