Make the wrench thinner/slimmer/skinney. It's called a Makita grinder that does the afore mentioned to the wrench.

The large vacuum hose that splits into 4 smaller hoses can be replaced with standard vac lines if yours are old and worn out. Just keep the splitter puck.

To undo the oil inectors, soak them with WD-40 for awhile before trying to spin them out. Get a 14mm wrench on the nut (between injector top and the oil feed line), and hit the wrench with a rubber mallet or something similar. Just be very very careful with the oil lines; especially when breaking the nuts loose. I'd suggest taking off all of the support brackets and unbolting them from the oil metering pump to give them some freeplay. You may get lucky and be able to loosen the injectors by hand without smacking the wrench, but usually they're seized in place.

If you can't get the wrench in there at all, remove the LIM to get better access to both sets of oil injectors.
