Tried a couple of the imported wrenches, you need to grind the walls so thin to clear the side and bottom of the housing that comes closest to the nut they simply just bend.
I might need to try a good old american made wrench. If you look closely at the newer imported wrenches, you can see how porous the metal is. In my small machine shop grinding on old american steel is much harder than the modern stuff. Do we still have american steel? I can't find a picture, and talked with a couple old Packard people and they stated there was a tool but could not remember what it looked like.
