Good Picture for reference to make your own socket. As mentioned you can use a deep well 9/16 six point socket and a some ingenuity to make your own.
I've posted before about this most convulated set up .... Here was reply then.
I've just got to believe that me and the drunk at the end of any bar in North America with about $100.00 and a couple of hours could come up with something better than the design, and I use that term very loosely ( convoluted ) set up that H.D. uses ... I forgot what a pain in the a$$ this job is/can be ... Yes, I have the socket ( made one years ago ) for my '92 ... I think that the "design" must have been left over from a John Deere, no make that a Massey Ferguson project that didn't pass engineering ... Maybe I'm just getting too damn old to screw with this stuff or perhaps I ( me and the drunk ) didn't imbibe quite enough before I started the job ... Anyway, it's done now and I've tightened it just enough to give it a "smack" the next time I need to adjust the damn things!

Quoted the wrong guy. I didn't say it wasn't a wordy.

If the internet says it's a word, it MUST be true. It can't be on the internet if it's NOT true , right ? Word or not , if you use it you sound like an idiot. JMHO:
