Any tips for this i couldnt see what tools would really fit in there to get at it with the door on and the outer fender on too. Any suggestions please?

I have found that ratchet gear wrenches work really well for adjusting the doors. Sears sells them.

There is also a special Boxed in wrench that is shaped like a "S".

Sears sells a tool called an Obstruction Wrench that is "C" shaped 9/16 and 5/8 box end. I have used this and it works pretty well. Cost about $16.

Well NO Doubt about it, it is a Bi#ch to do. But I used a box/open wrench. The S- shaped wrench should work good. I found that if you leave the bolts just loose enough to hit the door with your hand, you can get it where it belongs then tighten it down.
Hope this helps! Good Luck! |
