617 oil cooler wrench

[connerm]

Looking to buy or rent a 1-1/16" box end wrench modified to work like a flare nut wrench so I can remove the oil cooler lines on my 85 300td. Engine mounts and shocks are out so I'm ready for the next step. Thank you.

Why not just get a 1-1/16 " flare nut wrench?

Because it requires more modifications than just the opening and I don't want to spend time looking on the internet for a wrench that will take me additional hours that I can't really spare, and for which I do not have the proper cutting and grinding tools, and if I did, I will use it exactly one time and never use again because I'm probably going to get rid of the car in a year, and because someone on this forum likely has said modified wrench lying in their trunk, or at the bottom of their toolbox, and because I promise to give said wrench to the next person on this forum who asks for it and because I'm lazy.

This is what I have been using. I was able to remove 2 Oil Coolers at a Junk Yard with it. One from a 83 300D and the other an 78 300SD.

I also have a regular 1-1/16" combination Wrench that I use on the Oil Filter End with a 24mm Combination whit the open end of the Wrenche's Head thinned to 5/16" so I can keep the Nipples from rotating.
