This little lost puppy
I retrieved from the boneyard anyone ever seen this type before!
It's locked up from rust. Can I bring it back to life.

Any ideas? id love to get this back working again!

Is that 1/4"?

I got something in that size from Amazon that swivels:

Yeah made by the same company.
Mine doesn't swivel but has 1/4 and the other side is 3/8.
Was able to get the two screws out after soaking both sides with WD40 Gel overnight.
This morning I sprayed the inner parts with the WD40 we'll see what happens over a days time.
It's the little things that count.

Cool….can’t get much leverage with it being so stubby, but would be very handy in confined spaces it looks.

Yep, I could have used this when changing out the rear sway bars on the X several years back!

Great News!
You know it!
I've added the lost puppy to the fold. it's been functionally recovered.
When will I use it...? Who knows ?
But the WD-40 done the job!
