[DML] Re: Special tools

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Stubby wrenches. Have used them at least on the bolts that hold upper
muffler bracket, driver side nuts on the exhaust crossover pipe,
clutch line union above the transmission (correct me if I'm wrong, but
aren't those flare fittings 5/8"), if not elsewhere. Also used them to
turn back my transmission when it was frozen to the clutch disc.

Cheater pipe for your socket wrench. Mine has become oblong shaped so
it hugs the handle and stays put until I pull it off.

PENETRATING OIL (not WD-40).

Dremel moto tool and flex extension.

Extra long (9" - 12") socket extensions.

BTW: you can check for #1 TDC with a normal length screwdriver
inserted through an access port near the front of the engine, resting
on a counterweight.
