Hey again Mart, I have an old Craftsman 11/16-19/32 wrench and a socket that is 3/8 British Standard-5/16 Whitworth. They measure within .003 so I guess my shop is better equipped than I remember. And by the way, I had scrambled eggs with sourdough toast for breakfast. Yum yum!

I got the clam shell on tight! Bolts didn't spin, it was the special nuts that did it. Thanks guys, now I know a thing or two that I didn't before.
