Hmm, I have a universal joint somewhere in my toolbox. I'll give that a shot before I go out and buy a wobble joint. I figure a wobble joint only gives a few degrees of angle over a standard socket?

Damn me for letting my girlfriend's brother borrow my tools.


Thanks everyone.

 

that is a very good idea. thanks for the input. never thought of that

 

What's the difference between a wobble joint and a u-joint?

 

i was wondering the same thing. at 1st i thought they were the same thing since i never heard of a wobble joint before

 

It's like putting your socket wrench into a socket that has an overly large hole. It will then wobble or angle a bit to give you that extra angle you need to reach what you need.

If you look at the picture you'll see that the sides of the extension are radiused. This will allow the wobble or ability to bend/angle a bit more.

 

Thanks for the info and Grainger link...I thought it was just another term for u-joint ,too.

 

I used a box end wrech on the spark plug socket to loosen it up, then just hand twisted it out. After a while, you get use to doing it.
