I taped a 10mm wrench onto a longer wrench so I didn't need to get my hand
into that tiny cavity.  Very slow process.  Next time, I'll be using a 10mm
gearwrench taped to another to give me the reach needed.  Steve B reported
using 1/4" wrench and socket from above, I think.  My arms are too short
and chubby to reach around both my tubby torso and the car parts from above.
