hi thomas, you asked:

================================
my mechanic said a crowfoot won't fit - he took a wrench and cut it so it would
clear the firewall.  i was gonna do this, but i found a neat set of 'shorty'
wrenches at sears - got a whole set.  i believe you can use a 14mm or a 9/16"
shorty (or cut) wrench for this - it IS a pain, even w/the short wrench.

good luck,

doug s.
