Default Re: Homemade crank nut wrench ?

I have an S & K 1 3/8 1/2 socket which is 2 inches tall, it will clear the crank retainer on the front cross member but there isn't enough room to get a ratchet or breaker bar on it. So if a 1 3/8 socket will do the job I'm thinking it cannot be more than 1 1/2 inches tall. What say you?

* Problem solved: If you can get any 1 3/8 socket on to the crank bolt, get a 6 inch extension either 1/4 or 1/2 and put it through the crank hole from the front of the car, then add your ratchet wrench or breaker bar and you are there!
