I paid $45 for one and did not hesitate for a minute. I had changed a blown head gasket and could not find one of these. I made one out of a double box wrench and used a torch to bend it. I used a long steel bar inserted into the other box end to turn the wrench. It is mikey mouse, but I have had no problem with this vehicle for three thousand miles and six years. There are I think two nuts that really need this wrench. They are on the left hand side near the front. I did re torque mine twice, after letting them sit for a week each time. Just as an aside note. when I bought my truck It had a recently repaired radiator. The head gasket did not give any problen until 1,0000 miles of use. It blew our at the rearmost fire ring. The gasket was pushed out the back and the oil galley was exposed, so oil would spill out. What a mess. I removed both heads with the exhaust and intake manifolds as an assy. I strapped a pair of 6x6's in the shape of an "A" to each fender. The tops were tied with chain and had enough board sticking above the cross to allow another 6x6 to nestle inside to use as a cross support. The "A" frames were tied to the truck. The cross piece has a chain around it so the come along could hook on. The heads need only to be lifted far enough to clear the head studs, unless there is another problem with the heads than the head gasket. Be carefull of the injectors. They extend below the head surface and into the round pocket in the center of the piston. Very interesting design. It The pocket was the size of a golf ball and had a sort of swirl shape to the top of it. The pistons were also coated with a shiny black powder coat of something like it. This engine was an LD465-1D I'll probably never need to use that tool for a deuce again, bit I'm glad I have it.
