Turning a hard to access nut

boltstools

Working on the propane conversion of my gas stove. One of the orifices to be changed is in a very hard to access location – shown in the photo. The orifice is the "nut" I'm referring to, which you can fit a wrench onto.

Although it is possible to get a wrench on it there is a very limited range of motion due to surrounding apparatus. I've tried to mark this in the photo with the red lines. The very short arc that the wrench can turn in means that it never gets a 'bite' on the orifice / nut and I can't even loosen it.

It would be much more work to disassemble the other parts in this area, so I'm hoping for a solution to remove and then reinstall just the orifice part. Maybe there's a specialty type of wrench… or something else I'm not thinking of.

A Crowfoot Wrench would work nicely. A 10 piece set of these is only $15.00
