Not sure what your supposed to use, but this method worked well for me yesterday. 3/8 12 point socket and a 3/8 allen wrench.

Kool, always grateful to use tools in a different way!

good idea,, added this to my tool use purpose. I just purchased a 28 tudor sedan and some wood still attached. Will probably break off but will help in the twisting force needed.

Sometimes the stars just align when you need them. After reading about your ingenious use of a socket & allen wrench yesterday I had occasion to use that very combination later in the shop, amazing!
