I used vice grips on mine....

Trying to swap in a new fan temp switch on an 87 Westy GL.  Its in a
fairly inaccessable spot so it seems that a socket needs to be used.
I took the switch to Sears and 2 FLAPS and couldn't find anything deep
enough.  It seemed to be a 27mm (maybe 29, I'm away from my notes),
which I did find, but nowhere near deep enough to fit over the plastic
plug section.  It needs to be a seriously deep socket.  I asked the
vendor who provided the part, and they simply said "we use the tool
truck.  When I asked for manufacturers who might provide to
individuals, no help was given.  I realize its not their job to
explain how to find tools, and that's why I'll let them remain
nameless.  So anyway... where can I find a deep enough socket for
this?

thanks for any pointers,
