Thanks for clarifying that it's a 5/8ths socket.
Googls says there are 3 fundamental passenger vehicle sizes.
1. 10mm threads, 5/8ths or 16mm socket
2. 14mm threads, 13/16ths or 21mm socket (but sometimes 5/8ths)
3. 18mm threads, 15/16ths or 24mm socket (but sometimes 13/16ths)
My 5/8th's deep socket is 2-1/2 inches long but it just spins so 2-1/2 inches must not be deep enough. I'll pick up a deeper deep socket tomorrow. Thanks.
Is it 14mm the threads in the 3RZ-FE engine (that's what my screw-in compression gauge is, where the press-fit compression gauge can't fit because of the deepness of the location).
I don't know if it will show up when I hit submit but in the image I just tried to upload, the yellow arrows point to where the wire loom broke, which I think is Toyota Part Number 90919-22387 ($184.99), and the red arrow points to the 2-12 inch long 5/8ths inch deep socket that turns out to be too short.
