Subject:      Getting at a bolt
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


Hello! and happy Sunday,


I'm looking for tool advice... there's a bolt on the exhaust system of
my '83 CA aircooled that's particularly tricky to get at. It's the top
bolt (originally a stud) at the junction of the right-side heat
exchanger and the cross pipe. All of the tin is installed around it,
so access is very tight - I can't turn it with a wrench, and my
ratchet is too bulky.


Can anyone recommend a tool that fits in there well enough to turn the
bolt? Some strange ratchet, a 90 degree bend, etc...? It seems that
there's enough space for the socket in there, but not much more than
that.


Thanks so much! Any help much appreciated.
Mike.
