I believe you can buy an attachment for a socket set called a crows foot. I used one for a particularly difficult nut on an auto engine.Beats the work of bending a wrench.RonWild CheriC&C 30STL

It went fairly well but I do recall taking a 1/2” open end wrench and heating it to put a 90 degree bend in it. Still have that in the bottom of my tool box John F peregrine 33-1 From: Bob Moriarty Sent: Friday, December 14, 2012 7:36 PM To: cnc-list Subject: Stus-List 33-1 A-4 Transmission Linkage Woes Took the day off to tinker on the boat. The transmission linkage had stopped working for forward. Reverse works fine on the venerable Atomic-4. For forward I have to hop below, remove the companionway steps, and push the shift lever into forward. This got old, even with crew. When shifting to forward from the pedestal the shift cable bulges downward where it exits the sheath(?). This is a span of about 4 inches of cable and 5 inches of solid rod which connects to the shift lever. Very tight quarters. Seems like I'd have to remove the engine to replace the shift cable. Major bummer. I twisted the end of the cable 180 degrees and reattached it to the shift lever and that might have fixed it. I can now get it into the forward detent from the pedestal, but time will tell... Bob M Ox 33-1 Jax, FL
