It's been quite a while for me as well, Cody.  Your comment about the 
socket not fitting rings a dimly heard bell.  I vaguely remember (?) 
having to assemble the socket/extensions/wrench in situ.  Use a 
finger or two to get the socket in the vicinity of the nut and then 
snake a column of extensions in through the narrow pathway to click 
the socket onto the extensions and then slip the wrench onto the 
extensions.  It required a bit of ingenuity, IIRC.
