    Snap-on use to make a set of "thin wall" sockets that might work to get them into the recess but can't tell for sure from the picture.

    Thanks! I just googled for different types of sockets and it looks like they make a low profile type too. I don't think they are the "thin wall" version you are referring to, but they don't have much of a lead-in bevel, so maybe that will be able to grab on the the limited bolt height. Looks like I get to get some new tools...

    Thanks again!
