I just order my actuator was wondering if this tool will be a perfect fit, in such a tight space. It has the option to exchange the bit I have a #40 torx that fits in it. I'm thinking this might save me from the need of the swivel joint since it's small enough to fit in the space with more then enough room.

that ratchet will work perfectly, but you'll need an 8mm socket and a 10mm socket to get that fan out of there. I found it easiest just to remove the fan motor and pull the whole fan assembly out. Once finished just re-tighten them back and be on your way. You may need to bleed the fan system with a suction vac to get out all the air from inside there. Good luck on the journey! Once you get it out once, you can get it out in less than 10 minutes the next time. It's a fairly simple and straightforward procedure.

Sorry, I just re-read your post; I have no idea on the actuator.

I'm just going to give it a try, hopefully it works I see no other reason why it shouldn't. Based on its size I'm thinking get it in place and take the extension and a hammer to hit up on it and break it loose then remove it, i pray I don't have the problems others had where it came out in two pieces. I'm going to spray some liquid wrench on it to get down In it to free up the threads. Instead of taking off the suction line I'll just disconnect it from the tank and move it out the way.
