And sometimes you need a "magic wrench" that is bent and angled just the right way. If you can't get to one of the bolts with a ratchet, wrench, chainsaw, etc. take a coat hanger wire and bend it so that the last half inch would go around the bolt (if it were a closed end wrench) and so that the bends allow you to turn the bolt. Then take that bent coat hanger wire and a wrench to your machine shop and ask them to bend the wrench to match the wire. Sometimes with these cars you have to make your own tools.
