now pricing up better deep socket racks v 1 x 22mm socket.

guess having a better range will stop me being defeated in the future.

why do machine mart never have VAT free days when you need stuff  ;D ;D ;D
Next one is  Sunday 18th or Thursday 22nd at Bolton branch.

Arrrrgggghhhhhhhh!  >:(


well off to Machine Mart with my VAT free invite....

pick up a nice set of 1/2" drive deep sockets and some other bits I wanted...

Car up, 22mm socket out.....and grrrrrr!  there isnt room to get my new socket on, with a ratchet at the end.  >:(

no combination of tools i've got will get near it  >:(

looks like a 'shallower 22mm deep"  or maybe offset ring spanner is needed.

What have others used to do this job?  looks so easy but its defeating me  >:( >:( >:( >:(

 :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

All sorted with a 22mm offset ring  :y

in reality it was loose enough to do with grips on the connector....
but obviously didnt know that till after, and sure as well wouldnt risk breaking it trying.
