Default Hey. That's my car! Some may not approve, but if you don't have socket big enough...

you can turn it with a large adjustable wrench. It isn't that hard to turn and you can get a decent bite on the crank end with a wrench. Socket would be better, but probably not worth buying one just for this purpose.

Oh - and sorry, but I don't remember what socket did actually fit.

Default Thanks! I think you can get away with doing it without the bar.

Just make very good indexing marks so there there is no mistaking the position of everything when you put it back together.
