I have one - didn’t remember it to be a problem (rear point). Do you have a photo of it to remind me?

Will a ratcheting box end wrench not fit on it? looks like it should clear. prob wont get a lot of swing, but enough to tighten

Good thought and where I was thinking I need to go with it, but was thinking that it wouldn’t be enough to meet the torque requirement. Thanks!

mid you need more leverage, you can always piggy back a std box end wrench on the open end.

Yup I used that and also used very small turns with an open ended wrench. It wasn’t too much trouble

I remember the day I installed mine. Same challenge. Ratchet wrench was just a hair too thick to fit. So, used an open end wrench and about an eighth (if that) turn after turn after turn after turn, one day I finished. Glad I have it now! But yeah, takes some time. And the torque value? I Wild a____ guessed. But after these years it’s still on.
