Yes, and you will need the ones sold for Porsche because nothing else will fit that confined space... ask me how I know... Do take a look at the link I posted, all information and photos are there.

They have red plastic handles and they're the perfect size, not very long, but long enough to get some leverage on the connection, which you'll probably need. The jaws are flatter than Crescents, so you can easily get one on the upper part of the connection which is a close fit. You would be working up in the wheel well, but there's a size that's larger than the 32mm so you can open them up a little, get them onto the connection, swing them into position and then tighten them up for a snug fit. You can position them a few inches apart so that you can squeeze them toward each other, which gives you a lot of torque.
Best of all, they eliminate an almost special purpose expensive tool and you'll find you will have a lot of uses for them, both on the Porsche and for other jobs.
Just reread this before posting. Maybe I should try to get a job at Sears during this "between jobs" period.

Thanks everyone, these details are a big help.
Rob, I'll get the parts together first before I see if I need to borrow any 'special' tools. Thanks for the offer.
