Or the miniature nuts behind the rear spring tower to get the gas gauge sender out from a Syncro fuel tank. I had to replace the sender once, all the nuts were rounded by rust, It took 5 hours to get the dang sender out! No other tools fit in there except sockets and box wrenches. I finally got a 9mm socket hammered on to the (normally) 10mm nuts. I used stainless nuts when replacing. PerL 87 Syncro 112i
