I may have the same HF metric set long combo wrenches that you have, largest size is 26 mm which is 1 mm short of 27 mm (which is exact replacement for 1-1/16") that is needed for many of the fittings. I have a set of HF SAE long combo wrenches bought a few years ago with large sizes of 1", 1-1/16, 1-1/8 and 1-1/4". They don't have that set anymore.

I cut the 1-1/16 combo to make 2 wrenches to get in the tight large line at the condenser. The short box end was cut to become a "flare wrench" and has a flat extension handle insert for leverage if needed (came from an old Honda motorcycle tool kit).





These would work but I wasn't about to spend that much and made my own.
