The problem is the bolts that do not give you that room — the one behind the engine bracket, tucked against the chassis rail, sitting inside the cabinet where a standard wrench can manage half a turn at most before it hits something. These are the jobs that take three times as long as they should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003estubby combination spanner set\u003c\/strong\u003e is the direct solution.
