Does anybody have a intake wrench . Wondering how it works and if it would be a good investment for my tool box

 

How often do you find yourself needing it?

If every day, then it would make a very good investment.

If once every never, then why have one other than bragging rights?

 

I have one,, and I have long ball end sockets. the long ball end works good on the upper bolts and the special wrench seems to work good on the lower ones. I use them a lot, I am also a tool freak, realizing that tools make me money. You will have to decide for yourself if it will pay for itself.

 

The right tool can keep a 15 minute job from turning into a half day and a lot of cussing ordeal, they are cheap buy one.

 

It's worth it. You will wonder how you ever removed the two bolts on the left side without it.

And I agree with Charlie, long ball allens for the right side bolts that actually get removed.

 

I "sacrificed" a hex/allen head wrench but simply cutting it and making it a "short reach" tool.


I've used it several times and it does make the job of changing intake seals much easier.

That's what I did as well.

 

The cut allen works but the ratchet action is what makes the SE wrench worth the trouble.

 

I did this too, but that's because I didn't know there was a special tool for this job.
