Any excuse to buy some new tools, right? I bought an offset ratcheting
wrench (didn't work, but looks good in my tool box) and a universal socket
for the occasion. I believe I used a short socket on a 3/8" breaker bar to
hold the nut on top and the universal socket on the bottom, but my memory
is fading.
