socket wrench for w/h element

[joel]

I don't know about all of you but getting the W/H element and the adaptor that goes in the drain hole for it out every winter is a pain.It is hard to get awrench on it. I found out that my socket for the oxygen sensors on my car fit the 7/8 inch adaptor that the element goes into.
It has a slot in the side for the wires to come out of so you don't have to worry about them.with this I did not do my usual knuckle busting that I allways dread.I thik you can get the slotted sockets in several sizes.They are reinforced so that they are not weakend by the slot.
