Randall:

Got the short handled 1/4 ratchet. It'll fit. Thought I had the 1/4 drive 
9/16 socket or adaptor for 3/8 socket but I don't. Too bad.
But... I bought the 'bent' wrench with the zig-zag and it woiked!
Radiator's out finally,
(Dave's bolt head extenders or socket caps sound cool too.)

Thanks 

Ray
