Have been searching for a "27mm flex head ratchet wrench" for a few weeks now and I have come up empty.
Got an order in with amazon and actually spoke with a human there today as to why my order hadnt been fulfilled (ordered 15/9).
She said that its in the system but hasnt progressed to actually filling my order and she didnt know when it would be fulfilled. :soapbox::bat:

Soooo....... does anyone know where I can buy a 27mm flex head ratchet wrench so I can change the oil in my new to me FL2 diesel.
What a dumb place to put the oil filter in such an inaccessible place.:soapbox:

Have tried the usual places(repco,supercrap etc) plus all the "toolshops" and none of them have the item nor can they get the item.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as to where I can obtain the wrench.

TIA.

DG, I used to have one of these (https://www.autotechtools.com.au/product/sidchrome-1-2-drive-swivel-head-ratchet-with-t-bar-handle-scmt14907/?utm_source=Google%20Shopping&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping%20Feed&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=4172&gad=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIt6XMx9vKgQMVAllgCh1a2gvUEAQYASAB EgIiDvD_BwE) until I lost it in a house move. Would that sort of thing with a suitable socket on it do your job?

Hi Don,
Cant even get a socket up there in the space with all the pipes,alternator and whatever else they stuck in there. grrrrrrrrrrrrr
Apparently the 2013-2015 models had some extra piping or different layout and the workshop manual doesnt cover these models.
Dont know whether the Ewoke has a workshop manual for the diesels as I cant find anything on the web.
