Doug&Deb Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 Having had to remove the carb from my 52 coronet I’m wondering what everyone is using to remove the nuts. Seems like an open end 9/16 wrench is the only option. A bit cumbersome especially on the side facing the head. Anybody have a homemade remedy? Quote
Sniper Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 I suppose you could replace the stock stud and nut combo with allen head screws and use a ball socket allen key to R&R them. But it's not like you need to pull the carb regularly. Quote

Doug&Deb Posted October 21, 2020 Author Report Posted October 21, 2020 I think I’ll try the stubby 9/16 1 Quote
Booger Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 I've had the carb off of Booger so dam many times I made an offset oe 9/16 for engine side Quote

kencombs Posted October 21, 2020 Report Posted October 21, 2020 The old C shaped distributor hold down bolt wrenches are ideal for this. Is there enough room behind the nut for a ratcheting box end wrench? I have some stubbies of that type and they're great, IF there is enough room around the bolt head as they are kinda thick. Quote
