Default Sidepipe Bolts. HELP!

OK, I have slight popping from both sides on decelleration.

Right side sidepipe flange bolts were all loose. Had to use an 18 inch extension to thread through the body exit in order to tighten the bolts on the passenger side. Was able to use both hands. One to hold the inside nut (from above in the engine compartment) from turning while tightening with the socket through the body opening.

However, the driver's side is a whole new challenge. No way to get my hand in from above in the engine compartment. So, you guys have done this a million times. What's the easiest way to access all 8 bolts on the driver's side so I dont have to break my wrist in two places in order to fit it up from the bottom? Do I have to enlist a buddy?
