Wrench to fit cam sensor bolt

I have heard that these bolts can be very tight and i would like to get a good wrench to keep in my glovebox. Would a long wrench like this one work best?

It does take a 10mm right.

10 mm deep 1/4 drive i think you will have problems with a wrench

Yep the Wolf is very right. I would get a 6 inch extension and a 10mm socket and a drive to put in your toolkit.

1/4 drive? Sounds weak.

Regular socket on a 3/8 drive ratchet worked fine for me.

I use a 1/4 ratchet. Some nice sunny day go pull the bolt and never sieze it. that way when it goes out in the rainy cold night you don't have to fight with it.
