Just wondering what to use on flange nuts on rc-one set up cant get socket onto it no room not even with unijoint price socket just doesn't fit so how do you tarque, I have leaks at base gaskets ,all new every part should leak but im wondering it its because I could only do flange up with spaner and im a bit heave handed when it comes to that, I snap bolts easy lol don't know my own strength, I would rather fix right, im going to have to pull down again, and use selent any advice would be appreciated thanks

Use a crows foot adaptor.

I used one on bikes and snowmobile base nuts, |

Use a crows foot adaptor. I don't agree with this video. Angles can be used as a last resort, but require more complex calculations and are more easily skewed by poor technique. Straight extensions are much better, when using proper calculations. |

just keep it simple and use the crow's foot at 90* to the wrench, that way, no need to recalculate for length of lever. it's good enough for the Navy, we always use crow's feet at 90* on dial torque wrenches.
**at work, we make "torque adapters" by cutting combination wenches in half. then on the cut end of each piece, we weld a nut on the top side of the wrench. that nut allows us to put a socket on the torque wrench. then that goes onto the nut that is welded to the cut wrench handle. just make sure you index the nut so that the cut wrench ends up at 90* to the torque wrench.**
