More cheap Chinese tools, but I figure for what they cost, if the set's 7/16" box end works on that one nut, I will consider it money well spent; otherwise, I'm out only fourteen bucks. To my eye, these 12-pt box ends do look perhaps a millimeter thinner than on the ones I have. They'll be here tomorrow and then we'll see.
Why, you may be asking, does LN use both metric and SAE? That's a good question. The oil-line fittings are metric, but the Solution Supplemental kit provided a 7/16" deep socket specifically for that one nut, which came in the bearing kit for the stud. Wish they had included a 7/16" box end that I could get on that nut. |
Perhaps you'd be better off with one of these pass-through sockets:

Your problem seems to be more of a depth issue than a clearence issue. These are sockets that are open all the way through so you can use a screwdriver to hold the bolt. At the same time, like every other socket, they can reach in and tighten the nut.
