Clutch Adjustment Socket
I see a few of you have made up your own versions of a deep 11/16" socket with a nut welded on the end (like a spark plug socket) to help set and lock the clutch adjustment nut with a internal hex key.
I'm not a welder. Any of you guys willing to make up and sell the rest of us this handy tool?
I can't seem find them, and I'm tired of deforming the nut from bad offset wrenches.
Thanks, and let me know how much, and how to contact you.

Do what I did, a lot easier....take a 11/16 deep socket and grind two flats on it (one on each side) on a bench grinder and fit a open end wrench on it...voila! Alternatively, you can contact snap-on and ask for their discontinued 11/16 spark plug socket. They allegedly have several left and will sell you one for about $20

RE: Clutch Adjustment Socket
Thanks Dawg and 1FLTI4ME,
I think I'll buy a deep socket and flatten the sides with a grinder like Dawg suggested first. Ought to be a cheap fix.
I looked at the unit at Snap-On and is it the weird looking socket with the checked sides, narrow waist and flared end for the wrench? From the pic I'm not sure if it even has a hole all the way through that would let the hex key work.
