Do you have access to a lathe? Shave a little off of the outside of the
impact....it will probably still be strong enough.....

Lacking a lathe you could probably do a satisfactory job by chucking it in a
drill press, spinning it and then use a grinder to trim it down.

On newer Volvo  6 cyl engines the 14mm head bolts are recessed down a
hole.  an impact socket wont quite fit  down the opening.

So I use  a "plain"'  6 point socket.  Sadly these go round fairly
quickly or  round off the bolt head.

  the tightening torque is 90ft/lb plus 90 degrees, so they are quite tight,

  and I cant ream the hole without damaging the head.


any ideas, hints?

thanks
