Jim is correct. There are a few special tools that you cant do with out. also
with this special wrench you will be able to torque the base nuts correctly
when you put it back together.

Purchase two cylinder head wrenches, one in 3/4" and the other in 9/16". If you
do any work on small Contnentals, you should also get one in 1/2". You can get
them from Aircraft Spruce, Wag-Aero, etc.

Randy:
I've never done an O-320, but I pulled the cylinders off an O-235 using
a crowfoot wrench.
Hey guys..
a crows foot wrench may work BUT it only contacts two flats on a nut that is
very hard to get at. The cylinder base wrench looks like a stretched and bent
flare fitting wrench guaranteed to save you much cussing.

> I am pulling the cylinders off and have come upon 2 - 3/4" nuts at the
lower rear of cylinders 3 & 4 that I have not been able to access. I have
tried sockets, swivel sockets, open-end and box-end wrenchs, but still
cannot get squarely on the nuts. Is there a special tool out there for
this, or am I just overlooking something. Randy
The special wrenches that are commonly used are called cylinder base
wrenches. You will need 2 different sizes. They use a 1/2" square drive.
The size for the large nuts is 3/4" as I recall. They are available from
several places that sell aircraft tools.
