pureboiracer 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2009 easyest way is to get a deep reach 17mm socket. put enough extensions on it so that you can access it through the top of the engine bay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You need a 22mm universal socket. Not a socket + a universal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
