Need to replace my power steering hose.
Drove a total of twenty miles from parts store to parts store to finally buy it, then bought a wrench set because I didnt have the right size, and now realize I cant seem to actually turn the wrench on the lower connection for the lack of room...
Anyone got ant suggestions?
Yea! I did this a couplemonths ago. There's a ratchet attachment called crows feet I think. Ill post a pic is a sec, but they work like magic!!

Same here!! I've found they are real useful when you're by yourself, especially at the junkyard, and you need someone to hold a wrench on the other side of.something, as long as there is somethin.for.it to hit against, they act just like a 3rd hand! Cause they almost encompass the whole bolt or nut so they don't fall off easy

I bought them to remove a fuel damper from a 89 supra. And then I realized how useful they were!!

It's all I have and I don't trust going any bigger with these teeny tiny stock jeep axles.

No Napa here but, we do have a Powell's that has a great selection of specialty tools such as those for dirt cheap and has had several parts "in stock" for my XJ that most parts stores don't carry and can't get.
Most recently, a rear wiper motor (mine was locked up) for $60.00.

================================================== ====

Something worng with that? Same as what I am getting ready to run. LOTS of people here ruin that setup. Some don't even have to trim to fit either. Shoot,, with the 2" I have now I can get 33s on, pretty useless unless I do a little "body massage" but none the less,, they go on.

Just sayn .02

It's not like you can't run bigger on those axels. Gear it to 4.10 or .56 and you can.
