Well, I had a good response to this problem. It appears that there is
really no solution to it, except:
1/ Oiling the threads to reduce friction,
2/ Using a slim shafted wrench.
An old English mechanic I know here in Colorado has never found a
suitable way to tighten these nuts down, and this guy specializes in
repairing and restoring Little British Cars.
Maybe we'll find a way someday......
