Been a long time, but remember hating that little bitch. A socket with 
u-joint was too tall to get in. I have a lone swivel joint 1/4" drive 
metric socket in 10 or 12mm (what ever those bolts are) that was 
purchased for the task.

It's possible! Hang in there. Try to think of it as a positive excuse to
