Try autozone, you can rent that tool from them, or at least I can in my city.

Re: dizzy wrench?

Try a crow's foot, or just bend a wrench in a vise.

Re: dizzy wrench?

I got mine from Sears.

Or you can find that adapter that fits on a straight extension, to reach that "hidden" hold down bolt.

Re: dizzy wrench?

Sears or even autozone should have crow foot wrenches. Or try the wrench bending thing again with MAP gas.

Re: dizzy wrench?

MAP gas will get hot enough to bend a wrench.
