you can do as suggested above to be sure. if you get another c900 and are in there again, you will not have the correct tool do do the deed.... so I tend to try and make the tool as needed.
If you have a bench grinder (I wish I did have one, it's on the list) or a hand held grinder ( I do have that one) and a grinding disk you can customize inexpensive tools (read CHEAP) for the infrequent usage from them. if you have a grinder, add a flapper wheel and a cutting disk too.
I purchased a set of combo wrenchs both SAE and Metric, for $20 at one the the autoparts stores. also one of those pocket 1/4 drive sets with six point sockets.
so far, I've cut a wrench to use the box end where clearance is too short, I've taken a 13mm and using the flapper disk made the wall of the box thinner to allow it to seat on the nut and turn, MADE a flare wrench, and of course made the 11mm 6 point socket into the tool in this thread.
also cut 1/2 drive sockets for the Harmonic balancer (both turbo and none turbo) did it with a hacksaw and fresh blade.
Once you do just one "custom" fit tool you will be hooked. sooooo much easier than messing about with an ill fitting tool.
