A new "favorite tool"!!!
My steering gearbox is shot so I had to remove the old one. I have a set of old Hooker Comp headers which made getting to two of the three gearbox mounting bolts virtually impossible. I loosend the headers and was able to get to one of them, but just could not get the last bolt off. I was able to get a socket on it, but there was no room to use a ratchet or breaker bar. Tried a swivel, but unable to get any leverage. Ran to Sears looking for a short socket and angle head box wrench. They had no shorty sockets and were sold out of the bow wrench. But....I found these!!! (Wobble Extesions) This kit came with 4 extensions. connecting two together gave me great torquing abilitly while still give me the "bend" I needed. Made short work of that last bolt. Proceeded to use them to remove my starter and a few header bolts. Got everything pictured below off in 4 hrs +/- w/o jacking up the motor etc. :cheers: I highly recommend them for them hard to get fasteners.
