You should be able to cut up any wrench with a cut-off wheel in a grinder.

Your right Sam. Sometimes the obvious escapes me!

Hoses installed - finally
Just to let everyone know, I finally installed the new lower oil cooler hose replacing the one that gave me so much trouble removing. That one hose problem took over eight hours trying by myself and another three hours with a friend?s help.
We finally gave up trying to craft a special tool because no matter what we tried nothing worked. The impossible fitting angle, oil filter bracket, magneto and prop governor bracket wouldn?t let us get even a 1/16? turn with any tool.
Our final solution was to remove the magneto, loosen the prop governor bracket and turn the fitting on the block down about 15 degrees. My friend Jerry, who just completed a top overhaul on his RV6, said this was the toughest access program he?s ever seen for a hose replacement.
Oh well, time to move on with the rest of the condition inspection! Sometimes airplane work is just too challenging!!!
