How to get the oil injectors off.

I need to take the oil injectors that are on the engine block. My wrench does not fit in between the nut and the top of the injector. I don't want to grind my wrench down if at all possible. Is there a special tool to get the little bitch off?

I had the same problem. I had use a thin pair of diagonal head pliers and gripped really hard and turned. Took me a while though.

I used the kind of plier on the right. It was perfect for fitting in that very tight space.

From the looks of it I'd say Sears! Craftsman!

Those are Craftsman from Sears. Be sure to measure them before buying though to make sure they'll fit.
