Did mine recently and looked at the cheaper option of a box spanner. Only problem with that is torqueing the thing thing back up properly. In the end I got one of these....

Sorted the torquing problem
short 1/2 inch extension with hole for side bar from a car boot sale
bit of rod fastened through the box spanner and extension bar
Nm - ft/lbs no problem

No icon for blowing me own trumpet
