thought i'd share this wrench i made up for removing the back-up light switch on the ZF-6 transmissions. it works pretty good but you still need to un-do & lay the clutch slave off to the side. this is just a cheapie wrench i never used, maybe once in ten years. 22mm & is approx. eight inches long, overall length.

Hmmmm, I used one that I bought from a pawn shop. Its full length and has a 22mm & a 24mm on the other side. I didnt need to move the slave cylinder or anything else though.:icon_scra

this wrench had a lot of chamfer built into the grip (teeth), no Ted & Dwight not those kind of teeth, i surfaced the face so when i got on the hex portion of the switch the wrench would grip with good engagement & not slip off the edges & round off the hex. would be better to use a six point from that aspect but you'd never get enough swing with it so a twelve point is the only way to go. i had a hard time getting a clear picture, sorry:???:
