Old timer at Delta base showed me a better way to torque oil filter adapters

Guy with 30 years in the hangar walked up while I was fighting with a stubborn adapter on a 737. He said stop using the crow's foot and just put a deep socket on a 1/2 inch breaker bar. Tried it yesterday on a CFM56 and got the torque right on the first try at 250 inch pounds. Has anyone else got tips from the old guys that actually beat the manual?

Old timers usually know the tricks that skip the book.

Old timers know the tricks" sounds like a movie quote, not a big deal.
