I cant get a pipe wrench onto it there is not enouh room on the engine side for a pipe wrench. I tried a one inch wrench and it is too small and a 1 1/16 is too big any ideas

1 1/32... LOL

Either that, or the metric equivalent of "barely over an inch" which I think would be 27 or 28 mm.

Any chance vice grips or an adjustable would fit in there?
