I'm about to change the wear pads on an engine that's out of the car. From what I've seen of the procedure, I wouldn't attempt it with the engine in the car. Sure, it can be done, but it's also...

Yes, I started with 17/64", which was one 1/64" larger than the 1/4" holes in the internal partitions, figuring to proceed to 9/32", 19/64", 5/16", etc. all the way up to 3/8", the objective. After...

I swear, I've been plagued with obstacles during this entire project. The latest obstacle arose when drilling out the socket. I saved the drilling for last, thinking it would be a snap. It turned out...

Good idea, Al. And it probably would have been easier than my improvised grinder. However, I had a very good reason for not going that route: I didn't think of it.

Now that you mention it, I would actually love to have a set of those. However, I'd be surprised if the set's 7/16" socket has a small enough outside diameter to fit in the notch and on the nut,...

The 3/8"-drive socket will now fit in the notch and on the nut, I'm happy to report. It took a while to grind it down enough, and it wasn't easy. As I said, the steel is tough. Tough enough that an...

Correct. The trick is to get it tight enough, and for that you need either a box-end wrench or socket that fits in the notch and on the nut.

True, but you would still need a way to tighten the nut on the stud. The 1/4"-drive deep socket would also need modification to fit a larger screwdriver through it, but that socket belongs to LN's...

Here's a screenshot of the socket used in Jake's Flat Six Innovations video. Without question, it's a 3/8"-drive socket. Note the smaller diameter of the business end, which allows it to clear the...

The 3/8"-drive 7/16" deep socket arrived today. As expected, its diameter is slightly too large to fit in the flange's notch. Not by very much, only a millimeter or so (see side-by-side comparison)....

LN support insists the 1/4"-drive 7/16" deep socket provided in the Supplemental kit "will work." No idea how, in view of the undeniable fact that a screwdriver small enough to fit through it is too...

A guy I know didn't have an impact socket, which are 6 point, so he said he was going to use a standard 12-point socket instead. I advised against it. He called me back and sheepishly admitted he had...

Tennessee must have some spectacular deals. An upholstery shop here in Oregon quoted me $900 merely to install covers from lseat.com.

The QuickJack is preferable to jack stands, no doubt about it, but I'm holding out for a 2-post lift. I want the car high enough that I can stand up under it. I've had it with working overhead while...

D'OH! Lowe's socket would have been perfect. Nice sleuthing, Al. (By the way, the nut requires a 12-point socket, but the sockets in the set from Harbor Freight have 6 points. Great price, though.)

I would, but the guy whose set it belongs to might object. He's kinda picky about his tools, and I understand that. I'm the same way.

You weren't wrong, Al. The wrench from the $14 set had even less clearance than the one I had. My friend, who's been scratching his head along with me, said he could use a set of SAE wrenches and...

Found this individual 3/8"-drive 7/16" 12-point deep socket on Amazon for $5.99. It looks perfect — except delivery is Mar 1-4. I don't want to wait that long. Stymied again. I tell ya, this is...

The screwdriver won't quite fit through my borrowed 3/8"-drive socket. There's a structure halfway down, no doubt to add strength, that won't allow a screwdriver of sufficient size to go through....

Thanks, you guys. I already tried the socket/screwdriver method yesterday, but I can't seem to get the nut tight enough so that the stud doesn't turn. It needs to be fairly tight before it can be...

Been looking at wrenches on Amazon. Most of them look like mine. I added "thin-wall" to the search and it came up with this set:
