A socket ratchet handle is a tool used in conjunction with socket wrenches to tighten or loosen fasteners, such as nuts and bolts. It features a ratcheting mechanism that allows the user to turn the handle in one direction while the socket remains engaged with the fastener, enabling efficient work in tight spaces. The handle typically has a square drive to accommodate various sizes of sockets, making it versatile for different applications. This tool is commonly used in automotive and mechanical work for its convenience and speed.
I have used a socket with a ratchet handle. The ratchet will allow you to get more travel to move the pulley and get the belt off.
To use a socket wrench set, first select the appropriate socket size that fits the nut or bolt you want to turn. Attach the socket to the ratchet handle by pushing it onto the square drive. Position the socket over the fastener and turn the ratchet handle in the desired direction—clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. For added leverage, you can use a breaker bar or a torque wrench if specific torque settings are required.
15 mm socket and ratchet for the caliper to bracket. if not it is a 13 mm socket and ratchet. the bracket to spindle is 18mm socket and ratchet
You pick a socket to fit the nut you want to move and fit that socket onto the ratchet tool and turn it to loosen or tighten the nut.
I'm going to assume you already know where it is, so, once you have it where you can get to it, you depress the clutch fully. You'll need a 5/8" socket and ratchet or a wrench (the ratchet and socket is preferable - 3/8" drive with a long handle would be the way to go) and a small prybar. Put the ratchet and socket on the bolt, push the back of the ratchet with the prybar until it pushes it, then you turn whichever direction you need to go... "On" if you need more free play, "Off" if you need less.

You need to have a 3/4 ratchet and a piece of pipe to slide on ratchet handle. There's a square socket in a tensioner arm, insert the ratchet into a socket, slide the pipe on ratchet hanle and rotate clockwise. This will relieve the tension off the belt so you can take it off (easier to slide it off the water pump pulley). It gets a bit tricky when you need to take it off the tension pulley, a lot easier if you take the fan assembly off the radiator first.
a socket and a ratchet should do the trick if you can get your hand in there if not slide a pipe over the end of the ratchet you dont need to relaese it much for it to come off A 3/8" hinge handle should do the trick.

Try reversing the drive on your ratchet handle and turning the socket in the opposite direction you were turning it when you got it stuck on the spark plug. Be sure to use a six point spark plug socket. It's much harder to ruin a hex with a six point socket. After you get the socket loose, I'd recommend removing and discarding this plug and getting a new one.

The sockets are standard sockets, just like any ratchet wrench. It's the handle that's special, with some type of gauge to indicate how hard you're twisting it.
