It appears only a socket of some sort will fit. It's easy enough to get to with the coolant pump pulley removed, but it appears to require an odd, in between socket length. A 15/16th sochet fits perfect, but every socket I looked at is either to short, and the blade on the switch interferes with the rachet fitment, or in the case of a deepwell socket , the socket is to long and will not fit the space I have to work in.

Theresa gotta be a way!
