I keep a few inexpensive wrenches in popular sizes as "benders" for cases like this...
The one I made for the dipstick nut on the 351M/400,,,, essentially, the box end is bent to nearly 90 degrees (or whatever angle suits your conditions) very close to the boxed end (you'll need to heat it to cherry red or better to avoid breaking it) and cut a slot like on a line wrench. You may have to grind around the outside of the boxed end for clearance.
HTH
How about a 1/2" drive x 5/8" spark plug socket (insert removed) slid down over the tube. Then use a wrench. You can cut a slot the length of the socket to clear any support bracket, or a larger slot to slip it over the tube. Just use your imagination.
