Door hinge bolt wrench

Once open a time....... 1970 to be exact. I had a wrench I acquired from my neighbor who owned a body shop . You could remove the door hinge bolts on a 64 cutlass without removing the fenders. Looked all the web cant find one. Any one know where to get one?
Could use one for a G body also

I think it makes mention of one in the body service manual if I’m not mistaken. I need to adjust my doors on my 65 as well. I’m gonna look into this wrench for sure, Thanks for the tip Nick!

I believe this is the tool. J22810 Kent Moore - I spent time trying to make one did not work, then spent money to get this one. I used it some, but I recall also just using a small driver/socket and got in there ok. I used the tool to loose break the bolt loose and for final tightening Not easy with driver/sockdet and not all that easy with the tool, but it took a little practice to get used to it. The other tool shown looks like a good one to have, I am sure I could find times it might come in handy.

"I believe this is the tool. J22810 Kent Moore " From what I can tell this works on the 68 cars Has any one used this on a 64?

Used on a 70, it is called out in the 70 Fisher. It helps to have a year of Fisher service manual.

It looks like it would be fairly easy to make one of these with some flat stock, a couple sockets and a mig welder.

I bet Joe P knows the right Kent Moore tool number, for both the 64 A body, and the G body wrench.

THANKS GUYS!!! ordering a Kentmore tool J 21550 for the 64. Now if I can find a G body manual for the G body number I can create havoc.
