One Tough Nut - Removing Cylinders IO-360 200hp

[Noah]

Can anybody tell me the trick to removing the large nuts for the rear-most studs holding my cylinders on my IO-360 angle valve engine? I need to remove them to inspect them and none of my wrenches, crows feet, and sockets will fit! Here's a photo:

Special wrenches

There are special offset wrenches for those nuts. Avery and other aircraft tool suppliers sell them. A must have for overhauling; $19.99 each. Click link below.

Ooooooh, THOSE wrenches, I'd seen those a long time ago and wondered what they were. Too bad my Brown Tool order just arrived today. Thank you for the response, Brian.
