I guess I'm kind of peculiar in that I would rather use the RIGHT tool for a job. It looks like that nut has already been abused a little bit, so I will just pick up what I need when I run out tomorrow. But thanks for the tip...
The washing machine broke on Tuesday, so we've got one on order. Since the water heater is 20 years old, and this would be the ONLY time we could easily get to it, we're going to buy a new one tomorrow and replace that as well. So I get to play plumber boy tomorrow....
In any event we'll be out, so I'll just stop by Advance Auto and pick up that 21mm Gearwrench there. Oh yeah, I also need some brake cleaner as I'm sure the emergency brake pads and the rotors got quite a bit of Blaster on them....
