hate this, finally got time to work on my trucks, first up my low millage 80 chevy, 58 thousand miles and change from new in 1980, verified miles, ive known the truck since new and even still have the window sticker off it. now the jobs are nothing too big, i have to replace a leaky exhaust bisket and paint the truck,original paint is gone now, new paint is here, butt...i get this thing up where even i can fit under it, and its a 4x4 too,lol, get my trusty 3/ths sockets and extensions out, butt... my deep 9/16th isnt deep enough, not a deal breaker i get out the 1/2 drive stuff, plenty deep now, butt... my long 1/2 drive extensions are missing,

Good luck. Exhaust work always sucks.

Old timer trick, put the socket on the stud then see if the extension end will fit in the socket end enough to turn it. BTDT, good luck jac

my lucky day, i went to town { 30 miles} and got a deeper socket, with heating the exhaust nuts then respraying them with pb blaster and heating again, i got all 3 off , not often i have that luck ! only damage was one burned plug wire, which allowed me to talk the wife into bringing me a whole new set,since "they had to match" double lucky lol
