S&K feels good and is very decent.

Craftsman has, maybe still does, a nice thin deep socket. They also feel lousy to handle.







And OT OT

do any of you tool guys know what tool to use on the alternator front brg retainer bolt? A 1/4 socket is too tight.

thx



Ron, that came out again??? You might try picking up a Craftsman #942339
"Midget Combination set"...I just got one on a whim. I always called 'em "ignition wrenches" Much thinner than their regular wrenches. 7mm #42345 might do the trick, but I doubt they sell it individually. the entire set of 10 sells for under $20. Sizes are: 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11mm. Sorry I didn't have this set when you were here...I think it would have worked better than the standard 7mm open end you used.
