[DeTomaso] Swapping Clutch Maser - HELP

[tmshinro at aol.com]

 When I replaced my clutch MC last year I put some duct tape over the box end wrench so that it would "stick" to the bolt head.

Hang a box wrench on the nut in the footwell.  Easily turn the bolt on the 
trunkside and eventually the box wrench will swing and hit an immovable 
object.  Generally, the wrench will stay on while you gently turn the bolt.
