Yes, I could have just used a plain L-shaped Alley key. But I only had a short one in 8mm size (~4" on long end) so no real advantage over the assembly I put together. Also, kind of a pain to keep pulling and inserting an Allen key.
With 8mm hex socket alone I was able to spin it with my fingers for when the plug was free, and when used with a wrench to snug it down I could use the tip of my finger in the socket to help guide it into place. Only really needed the extra wrench for initial loosening and final tightening.
Something sized more like this, but not this one:

This doesn't have an 8mm, but I've seen similar that do, and this would probably break with full final torque. Of course, can't really torque to spec with anything like this either. Would need some sort of offset bar.
