I borrowed a socket and ratchet large enough form a guy who works in the
steel industry (assembling industrial ducts), so they are available. Had
to use a lot of heat and a lot of muscle to get the darn thing off.

You might try to borrow from your local mechanic, maybe slip him 10
bucks.

Good luck,
