Oil pressure relief valve cap nut

I'm experiencing the symptoms of an intermittent gummed up sticking oil pressure relief valve. Easy fix once the #@*!##slotted cap is removed!!!!

Here's a terrific, but somewhat expensive, replacement idea ( Samba ad: 1224667)

If I ever manage to extract mine I'm going to weld on a 14mm nut that will do the same job!

Carl: Go to Sears and get a 3/8" drive drag link socket. It looks like a 3/8" drive socket but with a BIG screwdriver blade on it. You may have to grind down the flats a touch to make it fit the metric slot of the valve cap, but that's easy.

Here's the sears ad:

You can also get one from Snap On here:
