Subject:[follow-up] Tool for fan temp switch removal?
From:Rob Campbell
Date:Tue, 8 Aug 2006 13:30:24 -0700

In case anyone searching the archives ever wants to know... it was
very difficult to source a 29mm "deep socket" for the fan temp switch.
 I was about to use a Snap-On connection, but was able to find one at
Pep Boys (after Sears, Kragen, Auto Zone, Harbor Freight, Home Depot,
and Lowes all failed).  Its sold as an "Axle socket" (not located near
the other sockets) for Ford Focus/Escort, was $11.
