I'm going to check the injection timing and replace the nozzles on my
1980 300SD, 617 engine.   What wrench have folks been using for the
17mm connection where the injector piping meets the injection pump?
I've seen a special Hazet socket type wrench made for the purpose,
which sure looks ideal, but they are obviously expensive and I would
have to order one.   Wondering what others have used?   A std open end
wrench doesn't have enough clearance.  I thought about an open ended
crowsfoot wrench, but I think they won't fit because the lines are too
close to each other?

So, any suggestions from others who've been, there, done, that would
be appreciated.

I think I may have figured it out myself.   Flare nut wrench and crows
foot flare nut wrench?

I was able to loosen and tighten the nuts on my
'83 240D 616 engine by
using open ended 17 mm wrenches and approaching
the nuts from the top
at an angle of about 25 degrees from the vertical.
In some places the angle
could be increased to about 30 degrees.
