John,
A 12 pt. Socket will work barely. The problem with it is that is just barely
engages maybe 3/16 inch on each end of some of the flats. Also because the
large locking washer behind the nut is curved, a 12 pt socket barely engages
the nut in depth due to the chamfer on the socket and the curvature of the
locking washer. Having tried this and also using a custom made crowfoot
wrench, Id higher recommend finding an 8 pt socket. Sounds like David Nock has
them. Thats the way to go IMHO having tried it other ways.
