I am very aware of that jam nut tool and have used it in the past and was my backup if I ran across a short 10mm bolt before I found the tool I made from an allen wrench while tearing apart the workshop. Happily, my local HF has the socket set you mentioned (I called them) and that is probably the route I will take. One can always use more tools (?) and that set has a couple of other handy allens.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> Dave</DIV><DIV style="BORDER-TOP: #bcbcbc 1px solid; MARGIN: 5px 0px"></DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #000000">On 01/15/14, <SPAN>Jimmy Johnston<inmytree1@GMAIL.COM></SPAN> wrote:</SPAN><DIV> </DIV><DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #000000">I grabbed one from harbor freight.<BR><BR><A class=parsedLink href="http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-38-and-12-drive-metric-hex-bit-socket-set-67880-html.html" target=_blank>http://www.harborfreight.com/9-piece-38-and-12-drive-metric-hex-bit-socket-set-67880-html.html</A><BR><BR>and there's this:<BR><BR><A class=parsedLink href="http://www.vanagonauts.com/Changing-gearbox-oil101.htm" target=_blank>http://www.vanagonauts.com/Changing-gearbox-oil101.htm</A><BR><BR>Have fun,<BR><BR>Jimmy<BR>Wilmington, NC<BR><BR><BR>On Wed, Jan 15, 2014 at 8:28 AM, David Bjorkman <<A class=parsedEmail href="mailto:ddbjorkman@verizon.net" target=_blank>ddbjorkman@verizon.net</A>>wrote:<BR><BR>> Hi All;<BR>> I went to check my tranny fluid level yesterday and could not find my cut<BR>> off 17mm allen wrench.
