I need a low profile 3/8th drive to take out a fill bolt in the rear diff of the escape. It’s super close and honestly I would love just a 3/8 chuck(?) with something I could hook an open end on.

I have these. And it will not drop in because of the ball.

Thoughts?

Can you use an end wrench?

Ratcheting wrench. I have a few sets. Use them more than the sockets if I am honest.

Apparently some have used breaker bars that just have the drive in the middle, not the ones with the hat over the end, and grind it down to make it work. So no, not just a wrench end.

To big. Need slim.


Coop

Something like this?

They would work if it didn’t have the other end on it. I just want that, it doesn’t have to ratchet.

If it is that tight, you probably won't get your wrench off when the bolt is loosened.

Go buy this then:

What year is the escape?

If between 13-19, get the one Steve posted.

Yup. And that’s perfect Steve. Thank you!

Apparently just break it lose and you can get it back out and turn it by hand. It’s not easy but people do it.
