Fbody 91 - quick way removing nuts frontbumper on fenders

He guys,

Just a pretty straight forward question

I'm need to remove my bumper completly
Last time I found it pretty annoying to unbolt those 4 nuts where the frontnose meets the fender.

Do you have any tips to get these 4 bolts off in a jiffy?

A tool, a tip?

FYI: yes I always remove the headlight units to create more space

Cheers guys!

I go from the bottom of the fender or remove fender liner. Then with 1/4 drive, deepwell socket and a swivel I get right in there.
