Special Tool Needed?

[Lawrence of Arabia]

I will be putting the heads back on my Multi-Fuel soon and I am stumped on how to toque the drivers side head bolts/Nuts. I had to heat and bend a 7/8s wrench to get them off, as I could not get a socket to fit in between the head and nut. I am guessing maybe a Crows Foot? Anyone know the trick?

I used a snap on 7/8 o2 sensor wrench similar to a crows foot but closed end put it on an extension and recalculate the torque for the longer wrench.

would the thinwall sockets from snapon work?

 

[baxter]

No the problem is that a socket is to tall and hits where the injector go in.

An open end crows foot will not work either, no room to swing it, so I made this after Clinto told me about the Gov'mt tool that breaks shortly after the first use.

could you cut some off of the socket?

Head Bolts on deuce

January 24th, 2010.

Uncle had a special set of wrenches for the M35A2 series multifuel engines that were designed expressly to work around the obstructions(injectors and such) on the top of the engine. I'd suggest either checking with Steel Soldiers or MV club members in your area to see if you can borrow a set, otherwise check with White Owl, Desert Deuce, et al to see if you can acquire a set. I know they are listed in the 34 P Parts and special tools manual, I just can't seem to dig the number outta the old noggin this afternoon.....

I'm pretty sure one of our giants will chime in, otherwise contact WillWagner on here as he is the absolute wizard of the deuces.....

Cheers,

I wonder if this would work?

FU28B, Socket, Universal, Shallow, 7/8", 12-Point

Or this one?
