Useful Tool?

Post by MarkS » Tue Jun 04, 2024 2:22 am

I recently ran across this adapter that lets one torque bolts that can’t be accessed with a socket. Seems it would useful to torque that back head bolt that is under the firewall in my ‘15.
I’m not affiliated with this company in any way, but I do have some of their other tools (motorcycle related) that seem to be high quality.

Anyone use one or something similar?

Crows foot 5/8 with a short wobble extension is what I use
Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.

I built my own from a box of miscellaneous tools. I verified that the torque was correct.

No need for any extra fancy tools to tighten the back bolts on the T head. Just use the original Ford wrench because of length it is built to only pull 45-50 foot pounds of torque by most people.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
