Thanks for the suggestion guys but I'm afraid it won't work. The shaft/rod is connected to the joint socket. The ball will still be free to turn as tightening the nut is attempted.

I will look into that one, thanks Alan.
The potential problem with a crow's foot spanner is its width. The top nut lies in a shrouded recess which makes any open ended spanner difficult to use.
