Arrow Trick Flow Track Heat Intake Question

Well, I've got about an hours work left and I'll be ready to fire up my new combo. However, I need advice on how to tighten the driver's side rear 12-pt nut for the upper intake. I called TF, and they said to 'just slide a 12 pt wrench on it'. Well, my Craftsman 3/8" 12 pt seems to be just a little to 'fat' to slide over this one last nut without hitting intake. I kind of wonder what the engineers were thinking when they came up with this design - or better yet, what they were smoking. Plus with about no working room back there by the firewall, it's a real peach to get to.

So, for those of you with this intake, how did you do it?

Thanks in advance for the replies,
E
