OFT Relocator install, I need help with step 24.

[nothingman1020]

I am looking for help from someone who has installed the relocator. I am at the end, step 24 from the instructions. I am trying to figure out a way to loosen the jamb nut at the bottom of the steering relay rod. I can barely get my arm and a wrench down in there, and when I do there is no room to turn the wrench and loosen the nut. Please help me, is there an easier way to do this?

I think I took the voltage regulator out of the way. If you take of the 2 8mm bolts you can set it down on the bottom of the subframe and have some more hand room.

I remember having the same issue when I installed my relocator, but I was able to get the nuts loosened with a normal "key" (dont know the english word ).

However I also remebered that I missed my crowfoot sockets which would have been perfect for loosening those nuts. (had them in another garage).

Heres how a crowfoot look:

You attach it to a "lengthener" that you attach to a wrench. Sorry for the bad english.. .

I lost a snap-on crowsfoot to the bottom of my sled trying to loosen the nut. Hey, if anybody notices one on the trail let me know!
