Am going to remove my stock turbo drain line from the block tomorrow. Unfortunately , car is stored about an hour away, so I can't determine the proper sized wrenches to take.
 
Can anyone tell me what size wrenches I need to remove both the large brass hex bushing & the nut on the end of the turbo oil drain line?  This area is difficult to reach using an adjustable wrench as it's pretty crowded.
 
Thanks for your help.

turbo drain came out easily with the 1 1/16" wrench.....I used a large socket and johnson bar to remove the brass bushing...came out easy!  Much easier than using a wrench on it. I didn't have to remove the water temperature sending unit or the thermostat housing either......
