Need help identifying a special tool

My maintenance manual describes (what appears to be) a 90º gear drive
extension. I cannot identify it by part number, nor can I seem to locate a
source for purchase.

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

If you can get a torque wrench in where the 90º angle is you won't
need part 4. I have seen the tool to which you refer with a T handle
instead of a socket. Have you tried Sears? I don't recall where I saw it.

Uselessly, for you, I have a very similar thing in
my office here in (London UK). It is a 90 degree drive
but with a simple 'T' handle and not a square drive. There
is 'just as uselessly' no manufacturer's mark on it of any kind.

They do exist. Keep looking.

Check out you local professional tool store. Call you
friendly local Snap-on guy.

As mentioned already you may find a torque wrench
somewhere with a small enough head.

I tried Sears, and will check with a different Snapon guy. The problem is
item 4 is in such a tight spot there's not enough room to swing a handle of
any kind.

Sounds like a job for a "crowfoot"?

I think a "Dickfore" wrench will work for this nicely.
