Do you have access to a 2x4 and a drill? take a 2' length of 2x4 and drill a hole in the middle of it at one end, make sure it's big enough to slide over the ratchet handle.

I can see it now as passer-bys drive by some kid is IN is engine bay with a broom diggin into the back end of the engine, LMFAO ROTF

[rida125]

no lol being the only guy at my house and not having enough money to buy or have good tools its kinda just me and my ratchet set

[surreal_awakening]

A spare brick with the holes drilled in it maybe? a steel rake you could wedge onto the ratchet handle? Anything??? C'mon man! Get creative!

[surreal_awakening]

Hell, a pair of pliers big enough to close around the ratchet handle. Squeeze tight and torque on that bad boy

[surreal_awakening]

OK...wait....do this... Go into your trunk. Pull out the jack. Open/Close the jack to a point where you can somehow wedge the ratchet handle through the jack and tighten the jack down so it doesn't slip too much. It might only net you 3 or 4 inches of extra leverage, but it'll be something big and bulky to hang onto.

use the skills that taught apes to catch ants with sticks... find a way to generate more leverage

[DansGen1Alero]

passers by see a jack come flying out of the engine bay as kid goes in other direction, lmao


seriosly tho, what about an adjustable wrench......oh NEIGHBORS they have to have something that has been named in the above posts.

ok i have another idea about a loosning agent.

ok so its called Zep commercial, it says calcium, lime & rust stain remover, do you guys think that would help with it being stuck?

or Kaboom, lol it says its a shower, tub, and tile cleaner, but it says on the bottle dont use on aluminum or galvanized metal?????
