correct wrench?

Are you using the correct size wrench? If you don't have the correct metric size, a 7/8 six point will work.

congratulations

A big part of getting mechanical work done is having the right tool or tools. Many times, it is worth buying the tool you need and you will have it next time. Your mechanic probably used a socket, and a rachet or a crows foot. When I installed my FSTB a socket and rachet worked. Congratulations.
