The photo below is a store bought line wrench.
The reason for using a flare nut wrench/line wrench on the stuffing box nut is because the open end wrench can deform the stuffing box nut because it is a kind of a flare nut.
I has had to be adjustable frequently for over five years.

Hope for the best plan for the worst.
