Does anyone have information on a tool to allow torquing the rear axle cone nut without pulling the muffler?

Jerry;
Here is the one that I have, I don't remember where I got it from but here's a couple of sources.

And double duty for me!  My F-350 uses a 36mm for the Oil Filter access...been meaning to buy one...just changed the oil last week and had to use channelocks...15 Qts. of Synthetic (slurp)...almost as bad as the Cats in my boat...~26qts each!

Sounds like my Porsche.  14 qts in that little car!  Had to  get a special drain pan that would hold the oil yet still fit under the car.

I see that this tool has a hex for a torque wrench.

The item on ebay is a 6 point wrench which would be very difficult to get on the bolt in many positions. The ratcheting wrench gives you many more angles to work the bolt.

My answer is YES it is a big deal!

Jim...will this wrench work with the Legend Shocks?  Or would you have to take the bottom bolt out and move the shock out of the way?  I've got to have one of these, but don't want to have to buy an open end and this one too, unless I need to do so.

I found the same wrench at another site with a better price ($38.95 + shipping): http://www.tooldiscounter.com/default.cfm?nav=inc/specials.cfm

Jim-Thanks for the tip on which wrench to buy.  You do this every day whereas most of us maybe once every year or two but you still need the tool.

Jerry-Thanks for the tip on the 36MM wrench from  Tooldiscounter and is made by the same company.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A CROWSFOOT @ YOUR LOCAL NAPA DEALER THAT WILL WORK FOR ABOUT 15-20 BUCKS [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

I received my Kastar 36MM wrench from Tooldiscounter this morning (quick shipping) and looks well made.  Can also use it on top mount oil filters like a BMW, MB or late model Powerstroke's..  Gettinold-thanks for the NAPA tip but I have an 05-06 NAPA Tool/Equipment catalogue and they had crows foot but none of the sets had any that went much over 1"..
