The WUR is attached with two 6mm socket head screws. The upper one is fairly easy to reach, the lower one not so much. It is blocked from view and can barely be touched with one finger. To remove it one needs to use an Allen wrench or a ratchet with a 5mm hex bit. However, there is no straight-shot access, because hoses and cables are in the way. While working on it I had tools slip and fall into a black hole several times, threatening to be lost forever or worse yet, do harm wherever they land.

There's an easy solution by welding a hex head screw onto the lower 6mm screw (of course after first removing the WUR the old way). The lower screw can now be started with two fingers and tightened with a C-wrench. The only danger when using a 13mm wrench is that one forgets that one is tightening a 6mm screw and not an 8mm screw.

The modified screw goes in lower position. One of the pictures shows it in the upper position for illustration purposes only.
