Does anyone else have a problem getting to the grease nipple with sports pack arches on?

Can i fit an angled nipple onto the rear or can a Angled adaptor be purchased?

Also what size spanner is needed to remove grease nipples?

Thanks

I don't have a problem with mine but one side is a bit tight.
I thing it depends on who fitted the arches at the factory and what he drank for lunch on that day. They seem to vary from one to the other, even on the same car... 🙄

The angled ones are the job. Yours must have been replaced at some time or the Sportpack arch’s were a later addition.
