Default Tool to torque bottom engine mount nut on dipstick side

Never mind.....

Managed to get the box end of the stubby on. Thanks... Just dont like torquing from the bolt side


Hi all...

What tool did you use to get a good grip on the bottom engine mount nut thats by the dipstick on #3 cylinder of an IO-360? A stubby 5/8 socket doesnt fit..the casting is in the way, a stubby 5/8 barely gets onto the flats.

The nut is on, and torqued, but not to the spec value...and I need to take it off again to remove a washer so the cotter pin will fit properly. Im not too keen on torquing it with the stubby barely contacting the flats.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance.
