The small end,, I'm not so comfortable with, but the nut fills the wrench.

A crescent will be fine, just square it up and tighten it , and put the corner of the nut that will get the pressure down on the bottom of the adjustable jaw. That takes most of the slack that allows the jaw to tilt in the handle out. Used carefully they are as good as an open end wrench. But, I shy away from them if I have the right tool, and the nut is Tight.
The small end,, I'm not so comfortable with, but the nut fills the wrench.I wound up using a crescent when I did the rear tire.

Just an update everyone. Eventually had the chance to jack up the bike (still needed a second pair of hands because as is often the issue our beloved Savage doesn't have much on the way of a jacking point that will bias the weight to the front to raise the rear).

Every suggestion that was given was hugely appreciated...it seems that the low speed drop had pushed the rear wheel out of alignment, not by much at all....and honestly is the belt hadn't been over tight...I probably wouldn't have even noticed. But the belt WAS way too tight....one I had the butt in the air, all it needed was about a full turn on either side of the belt adjusters and she is running soooooooooo smooth now, actually better than prior to the accident so maybe it was a blessing in disguise!
