Well,  I had a good response to this problem. It appears that there is 
really no solution to it, except:

        1/  Oiling the threads to reduce friction,
        2/  Using a slim shafted wrench.

An old English mechanic I know here in Colorado has never found a 
suitable way to tighten these nuts down, and this guy specializes in 
repairing and restoring Little British Cars.

        Maybe we'll find a way someday......
