I know this thread is getting old by now but lemme tell y'all what I did
that makes BJ8 carb removal a (relative) breeze. I replace the 5/16"
hex nuts (which require a 1/2" wrench) with 5/16-24 Jet Nuts from a
Pegasus Racing catalog. These have a reduced hex (read 3/8" wrench) but
the surface area is the same as the regular nut. Believe me, it's a
zillion times easier to work with the smaller wrench. Just my
2-cents-worth....

A curved C type wrench helps even thought they are usually box end. A
curved C type open end would be better yet.
