Offset Extension Is there such a thing as an offset extension.
Trying to use a crowfoot socket and torque it at the same time but cant fit the head of the torque wrench behind the header primary.
I have bought a torque adapter and offset crowfoot sockets, both failed to work.
I need a tool that allows me to do the following....
1) Torque the header bolt (stage 8 lockers)
2) Get around the hex head of the bolt even when the distance from the primary is only about 3/8"
3) Get on top of the header bolt when the distance from the face of the bolt to the primary is only about 1"
Figured I could get a socket with an offset extension around it but that might even be too deep.
Leaving a few bolts out is NOT AN OPTION. lol
