Depending upon how deep the machining is in the bogey arm where the nut
seats on the fill side it may be difficult to gain purchase with a box
wrench. I have run into this a few times. If that is the case then the
Schrader valve straight into the fill port would be a good solution. Both
sides can then be manipulated with air load preventing the "wrong" part
from turning and a socket can be used on each end. Good idea Jon.
