Snap-On Ratchet Sealed Head Dual 80 Extra Long Handle 3/8" Drive 17 1/2" FLL80 (~~$80 used in good shape) It's more compact, and there isn't a pipe that moves/wiggles around while you're doing some ratcheting. Imho, I find them better than using a pipe. Not cheap.īut, you may find a used on on ebay for a non super high price.

Edited Jby LukeZ34ītw, snap-on makes some nice 3/8" ratchets with looong handles.
#Leaf spring isolator pads install
I just don't see any way to install that pad without removing the trailing arm. Guess I will swing by the garage Monday morning, and let them put it on. I am pushing 60 years old, so I just can't get her done like I use to do. The only thing that broke loose was a rib of mine that made a popping sound. I don't have any air impacts, so I knew it was going to be a bear to break that bolt with a 15/16 inch wrench or big breaker bar and impact socket. That dang trailing arm sits there right in the way. Put the rear on jack stands, used a block of wood and a six inch c-clamp to try to get the spring to raise out of the knuckle, but I could not get close enough to the end of the spring to raise it up enough. I tried to install the Moog transverse spring isolator pads. The factory rubber is completely gone on both sides.

After I got the new struts on, I inspected the ends of the leaf spring where it goes into the knuckle, and there was absolutely nothing on either end of the spring. My 92 Cutlass Supreme S still has some clunking noise in the rear.
