  • Does anyone have a 10mm swivel socket?

    Hey guys and gals, I need to change out my oil pan (for the third time) and am struggling with the two bolts by the transmission. I've been able to get the two bolts out with a ball end hex in the past but this time the inside of the screws are stripped. So I am looking for a 10mm swivel socket similar to this one:

    Or if anyone has a suggestion that may help me that would be awesome. I will reimburse with your choice of cold beverage
    Thanks!

      What I have used in the past that has worked best is use 1/4" not 3/8" and use the small wobble extensions. You can get those at Princess auto.

          You can use wobble extensions, flexy extensions, or u-joint extensions.
          Princess auto carries all of em! I personally like the flexy extensions the best.

                So it turns out that the bolts were in there pretty good (to the point where nothing worked without striping). So used my last resort which was drilling the bolt heads off. Got some flex extensions and the swivel sockets (Princess Auto only carries 3/8" swivel sockets, thought that they may come handy in the future), so thank you to those who suggested stopping there. A thank you to the rest who gave advice, much appreciated.
