I agree John.
I used to own a boat that had a large CAT diesel engine and the injector
nuts were in wells which prevented getting a good purchase on them with an
open-end wrench
I found a tool--sort of like a deep six-point hexagonal socket with a slot
cut out of its length--which passed over the fuel pipe and slid down onto
the nut.
That's what gave me this idea.
