In any event, my understanding is any decent 17 mm open-ended wrench can be used. I do not have the universal swivel for the socket, but I think those are relatively common as well. Thanks, again.

The secret of the Hazet is that it has an offset (aka 'dog leg') on the handle. That allows one to press against the engine but you are right that any 17mm open end would grip the ridge at the end of the boot. Perhaps a small block of wood would be useful when using a straight handled wrench.
