Trying to find a special tool

[phylrick]

I am trying to torque the rear lower balls on a C6 Corvette. Spacing is tight and I need an extended Crows foot. 21 mm. I mean an extension to the offset about 2 inches would be nice. Can anyone give me a lead??

Not a Vette guy here, and don't know what the spatial relationship around the lower ball joints are, so forgive the ignorant question, but what exactly do you mean by "extension to the offset"?

Not a vette guy either, but it sounds like OP needs to weld some plate to his crow foot and then weld an old socket upside down to that plate so that he can then attach a ratchet or ratchet extension to his modified crowfoot.

Will the snap-on FZ2 work?

Not mine but just an example to look at

Can you attach two universals together to get length needed?

Or would this work?

Uhhh I've never had an issue with the lower ball joint. I know space is tight but the proper tool is a 21mm crows foot. Im not sure if it maybe is the brand of crows foot you are using but my SK set has worked without issue on the Z06s.

You just need a good quality 21mm crowsfoot

Weld a socket onto the wrench you want to use.

I have done this in the past for several applications, and it works great.

When you torque it have te torque wrench 90° to the wrench so the torq values will be the same.
