[Healeys] air cleaners

[Ron Mitchell]

I cut a 1/2 inch open end wrench in half.  Drilled a hole in the stub end and inserted a string in it with a long loop that is long enough to go around my neck.  That way when I drop the stub wrench it is easy to retrieve.  The stub wrench has worked for me for  many years.  It is just long enough to loosen the bolt then as some one else suggested you can back it out with your fingers.  I try to keep a magnet on the bolt as I turn it so when it comes out it doesn't foll in that black hole where all my other tools reside.

Take a cheap 1/2" end wrench and grind down the box end--width and 'depth'--until you can just slip it over the nut.  It's tedious, but you can get the nuts loose enough that you can spin them off with your fingers so they can drop someplace inaccessible.

These cars were not made to be easy to work on




I now have a BJ8 with HD8 carbs.  Any helpful hints on how to remove the air cleaners?  The only attachments are the two bolts through the carb flanges, which are not very accessible.  I can get at the outside ones ok, and one of the inside ones, sort of.
