tightening 2055 bolts - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

I am having a problem tightening the rear bolt on the passenger side header for my 2055's, I am using stage 8 locking bolts but I haven't applied any of the clips yet because I'm trying to torque the bolt down tight but I cannot fit any tool down there to tighten it enough.

Any ideas?

I had to cut down a wrench to get in there the first time. This time, I put one of these in there: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/MRG-916/
I was able to get to it no problem from underneath. I got it nice and tight. I know it's not locking, but it made my life easier.

Alright, thanks alot, I got it done with a 12 millimeter combo wrench, it was tough but I found enough room.

By the way, my dip stick is screwed, no way to straighten it out, I guess I'll just be changing my oil ever 2 months or so now just to be on the safe side until I swap in a 350.
