Default WHICH SOCKET FOR LONG STUDS
Just about to drop my head on my newly built bottom end,but the question is who's sockets do you use to tighten the long studs down,bought the thinnest 18 mm multi point socket i could find (tengtools) but im sure once i grind it down it will be to thin to take the torque ,help please
