Changing the engine position would be idea to make the S/P accessible with a socket.
Don't forget a shorty S/P can be used too
But like I said in post #21 a S/P socket can be cut shorter
Cut an old style one down like this and use the Bottom 1/2
An adjustable wrench can be used
Since I changed style heads to one that has the S/P hole in the center
The S/P was too close to the frame to be able to slide on a normal length S/P socket
I cut this S/P socket down so I could remove the S/P on my Whizzer,
