Toge -- Sorry about the not-exactly-the-answer confusing posts here. You have to understand many of these guys have deformed nuts, presumably from years sitting on Kawasakis. :whistle:

I think Wireman was referring to the Craftsman Bolt Out sockets Linky here

Apologies...too much time in the chit chat forum.
I'll quit harassing Wireman in the engine forum...
carry on. :dry:

wow,i sure am popular today! yeah the bolt out kit was the ones i was refering to.and yes ashland in in nebraska down the road from gretna:P
