DONT get the box type crowsfoot like pictured above though. an open end one will be much easier to get on the nut. for the upper nut, i just use a 1/4" drive socket on an extension. its the lower ones that always give trouble.

yep, those are crowsfoot line wrenches. you'll want to get the regular open ended type. for as often (read: rarely) that you'll use them, the set from harbor freight for 6 bucks is just fine. imo.

I lost my 1/2" crowsfoot somewhere, I get around it by loosening the RH heat shield. Where did I put that thing ?

theres really no getting around having a crowsfoot with rineharts rear header. maybe if you had a stubby open end wrench, but i cant get anything else in there.
