Couple weeks ago I had to replace a brake line, came up with this to be able to break the fitting loose without damaging anything. Stubby & angle wrenches werent doing it & no room for a longer wrench.

I had not really used the Snap-on FZ-something adapters before (loaned them once), seemed to work out here though.

Anyone done similar with these or other adapters?

I keep getting tempted by those adapters, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

May have been able to get in there with a flare nut socket, I picked one up for the nightmare that is removing injector lines from Stanadyne diesel injection pumps.

Cobbled this together recently to get at the (notoriously difficult) top starter bolt on a 7.3idi Diesel. Goofy as hell, but worked like a charm.

I've done similar to the double swivel set up. Mack charge air cooler lower bolts. Matco has a double jointed extension actually. I picked up the 1/4 drive one.
