Answered my own question. Although I'm not sure of the cost involved or if these would fit into some openings. These would be especially handy for brake lines. If they are not too expensive I will be investing in a set.

Edit: They are too expensive!

crows feet tubing sockets for brake lines.......variations of crows feet sockets for other hard to reach places, and there are all sorts of special sockets and adaptors for oddball aplications usually only available through kent moore tools. (gm ) and whatever motorcraft is these days (ford). i have no idea who supplies chrysler , but there is pretty much a special tool of some sort available............but i have to tell you they ain't cheap. flip through a snap on catalog and check out their special aplication stuff. its a real eye opener for the kind of tools that are available

Remember when using crows feet with a torque wrench to do the correction calculation

Or try to get it as close to 90deg to the torque wrench arm so it doesn't change the lever arm length as much

30+ years and I have never torqued a steel wheel. The oil drain plug also has a torque spec do you folks torque that as well? I do use a torque wrench for all critical fasteners and engine building. Buying a junk harbor freight torque wrench is silly. I would trust my calibrated elbow before I trusted a HF tool. A good USA made torque wrench is not that expensive.
