Well, I've tried undoing the RH one with an ordinary 11mm open ended spanner and this is what happened.
You can see the hexagon is starting to round off - so I stopped before it got completely wrecked. I don't want to have to change these pipes - I don't have the equipment, the pipework skill or the time (there's too much other stuff to do - e.g. refit the subframe, suspension, hubs, brakes, exhaust, etc, etc). I can't even reach most of the pipe run - the car isn't high enough off the ground.
I'll get a proper brake spanner and see if that shifts it.
