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.</span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5645"><span><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5645">Ron Mitchell</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5645">Goodrich, MI BN6</div><br> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5649"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5648"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5647"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5646"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5650"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> I Erbs <eyera3000@gmail.com><br> <b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5712"><span style="font-weight: bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5711">To:</span></b> Bob Spidell <bspidell@comcast.net> <br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> Ahealey help <healeys@autox.team.net> <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, October 4, 2015 12:03 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Healeys] air cleaners<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5796"><br><div id="yiv2702116149"><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1443978988550_5797">I have a magnetic finger glove to kerp it from falling.

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.
