Yup, 1/4 wobbly...But sometime the true dual pipe and stock headpipes need a 1/2 wrench cut in half for clearance. I call that the rhinehart wrench.

1/2" open end wrench cut in half works for me.

Also have the 1/4" drive with the wobble for after I get it loose with the wrench.

Hi Firesole,

Wedge the nut into the socket with a thick piece of paper so it doesn't fall out of the socket when you put it back.
