Can't Get to the Locknut to Adjust Idle...
 

i need to bump up my idle a little bit (it's ~600); i did a search & know where the adjustment screw is and everything BUT my long socket isn't long enough to get onto the locknut to loosen it, and there's just no getting a wrench down there...
any ideas?

Crowfoot wrench on a 12" extension. I think it takes 14mm, I just ended up buying the assorted metric kit from Sears. Harbor Freight also has one, and probably everyone else.

right you are...
i'd always seen those wrenches but forgot about them.
thanks!

I used a standard 1/4" drive 14mm Crapsman deep socket to get mine loose. No problems encountered. :)

I broke mine off and then epoxied it back since I have a very strict policy of breaking at least one thing for every thing I fix.

How in the world did you break the bolt? :eek: I would think that would be literally impossible. All it has is a lock nut at the bottom and a screw driver slot in the top of the bolt.
