Most of us have seen cam nuts that are screwed up from a wrench that doesn't fit well to the nut. If you have a spare hubcap wrench and some scrap pipe you can make a socket easily that fits that nut to a T (pun intended) as the wheel bearing portion is the same as the cam nut. Rather than ramble on as to how I made it the following pictures should answer all questions. Gary
For some reason I wasn't able to attach the third picture. The last picture shows a piece of strap with a bolt welded to it. This allows you to use a wrench to turn the cam nut on or off. I'll post the last picture when I figure out why I can't right now.
Try again for the third image.
Thanks, Gary. I don't weld, so I took a die grinder to a impact socket. It works, too.

Rick , can you post a picture and size of soket
Thanks

A Model A spark plug wrench works well, the right size and the offset allows easy access.
If i rember a 1 1/8" Craftsman Combination wrench did very well and i just used a 18" Powercraft adjustable on the exhaust nut!Bud.
I had to change my central heating pump last week and the only way I could get the top & bottom pump nuts loose was with a pair of T exhaust nut wrenches.
Which is turning this thread from 'How to make useful T tools' to 'How to make full use of T tools' :^)
