where to buy extra long flare nut wrenches?

[tommydog35]

Is there anyone who makes extra long metric flare nut wrenches. I am looking for something 12 inches or longer.

Would flare nut crowfoot wrenches on a long bar do the job?

Curious what for? Usually I find I need to take it easy even on regular length wrenches or they'll round off. I haven't ever seen long ones so can't actually be useful in answering your question, but am curious what you're looking into them for. Access, reducing fatigue...

I want them mainly to make access easier when removing injector fuel lines from a pump. I have not had much luck with crows foot, as the ones I have tried are a little too wide, as they foul on the other injector bolts. The only thing I have got to work is a standard flare nut wrench, but it cold do with being a bit longer. On the subject of crows foot, can you get slim profile ones with a flare nut head? I know I could take a grinder to my existing crows foot ones, but I am reluctant to do that.

Is that a diesel engine? There's probably a special tool just for that.

Extra Length + Open end = Not good

I'm not sure what type of injection pump your working on, but I know there is a special socket adapter for older Navistar pumps. It makes things go so much quicker as you can work straight on, versus side to side.

You could always get a long handle box end and cut a notch out of it. I've done this to make an O2 sensor wrench before. Cut the notch with an abrasive cut-off wheel as most saw blades won't touch the hardened steel.

I like these because they are thin wall / slim profile, but I don't think they do them in metric?
