over the 55+ years playing with cars, i have cut, hacked, bent, welded, and machined so many different sockets and wrenches for removing plugs on all kinds of applications, i have forgotten what most of those tools were used on.
if a guy finds him/her self in a "situation", don't be afraid to experiment with different "combinations". i have a couple of buckets of broken or junk tools i can sort through and cut up/bend/machine/weld or whatever it takes to do a particular job at hand. if my "creation" works, great ! if not, try again. lots of times [maybe most actually] it takes longer to create a tool than it does removing/installing whatever it was the tool was made for !
don't be afraid to use your mind or ask around. you can do it !
