Careful with a ratchet and socket... you can get it stuck with no way to reverse it.
Happened to a friend.

LOL  Happened to me on my TC88   ratcheting box wrench.. non reversible type..  Ended up removing the front engine mount and stabilizer links to get the damn thing out.. That will never happen again..lessons learned.
where's the points and condenser ?<br />Tom / aka motor

These swivel socket wrenches works pretty good for tight places.....

I just took an older small boxed end wrench and bent it the way I needed it to make it easy to use. I thought it might be slow and tedious but actually because of the recessed area on the rocker box, it was as fast as a ratchet wrench. If any of these others that have been mentioned are quicker, I would be open for sure.
