That miserable &%@^#*$ EJ25D EGR tube.

One of the nuts on mine is mangled up, so I tried to fetch a replacement from the boneyard.  Wasted a lot of time, chewed up my knuckles, and came away empty-handed.

A regular flare nut wrench just couldn't cut it.  What's the right answer?  Does a crowfoot flare nut wrench work any better down there?

Thanks - I'll see how it goes and may take you up on that.  The problem was that with the engine in the (junkyard) car, there simply wasn't enough room to swing the flare nut wrench - or get a FH (B or otherwise) down there to help.  I'm pretty sure the one I have was messed up when I first resorted to the Vise-Grips years ago.  Nasty d@mn spot.
