Just take a torch, heat it up, and bend it straight. I bet you use it a lot then! :lol:

I bought a 13mm half moon wrench from matco tools for 13.00 to put it back on cuz all the work and time I spent taking that off I wasnt doing that again cured all my problems and it was well worth the 13.00 to me to get rid of all the hassle

On that hidden nut, I used a LONGGGGG extension and plain old socket; it was a straight shot back in there, once I got a long enough extension.

The only nut that actually required the Harbor Freight S-wrench was real easy to access.

Was that in your Ford or in your Dodge?

I could loosen it from the bottom with an extension, but when I went to tighten it, the angles were wrong and it kept torquing off the bolt.

My Snap On wrench looks identical to that Harbor Frieght wrench.........except mine has a red handle.

And cost about 6 times as much! :yuck:

You'd have to show me that trick. I don't remember what exactly was in the way, but something was keeping me from doing that. Injection lines, I do believe...

That may well be so if one is only adjusting the timing or somesuch.

We had all the lines off and out of the way, on account of we completely removed the pump.

Oh, alright.

I never bothered to remove the lines.
