Ok, first of all I would like to thank anyone for helping, and please excuse my inexperience. I am by no means a mechanic, I am merely try to help the mechanic at my fire station.
We operate a 1975 Mack/Kaiser 5 ton, with what I was told to be a continental multi fuel engine. The manual with it, says it is a M35A2.
We were in the process of changing the front head gasket. We ran into a problem when we came to the DRIVER side. Under the injectors, the head tapers in and allows no access to get on the 7/8" socket. We tried a crows foot, also did not work. Even with taking off the injectors, we would not be able to get on them (we tried on the back head where it was open to get a wrench on).
So, we came to the conclusion that there is a special tool for this. But, I cannot find anything on the net that names a tool, or even mentions the issue.
So please, PLEASE, anyone with a name of the tool or a suggestion on getting these bolts off, would be greatly appreciated.
Brush season is right around the corner and this vehicle is a key part of our fleet to fight the fires.
