The special tool is just a deep socket with part of it ground out to
allow the hex wrench in-- very easy to make w/ Dremel and bench grinder.
It is necessary if you want to torque to spec on the install.  (Could
always use a crowfoot w/ small correction for the arm length, though.)

This tool will provide company in the toolbox for your shaved open-end
wrenches for the brakes.  :)
