I went through the same frustration a while ago.I end up grinding a bit of the ECU support bracket so that I could get a deep socket on the nut Edited 24/07/09 04:18 AM by XtRmn8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EGOXRT Guests Posted 24/07/09 04:33 AM Share Posted 24/07/09 04:33 AM Try a 3/8 universal on your socket, works everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest EGOXRT Guests Posted 24/07/09 06:54 AM Share Posted 24/07/09 06:54 AM (edited) Yes a wobbly bit 1/4 or 3/8. You can use a deep socket also but say good bye to the hex. Edited 24/07/09 06:54 AM by EGOXRT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
