Timing HELP please!

Well yesterday i went out with high hopes of advancing the timing on my truck... I've been reading the posts on how to do it and it didnt seem too difficult untill i tried to get a wrench on the top and bottome nuts!! IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM NUT!!!

I only have straight box end wrenches, but it looks like I'm using the wrong tool.

Wannadiesel said he used the S-shaped wrenches.....is that the only tool for the job???

Any help or suggestons would be appriciated!

That's the best tool I've found. Harbor Freight S-Wrenches, $10.

only other thing is to put your wrench in a vise, heat it up good and bend it to make your own.
