If you have one of the universal type sockets then you can do it like that, you may haveto have alonger extension so you can get by the crossmember.

It will be a lot easier with a 3/8" drive set and as mentioned extensions and universal joint, a standard 1/2" drive will just be to cumbersome for this job.

Thank you for info. I had to jack the moter up about an inch to have enough clearence to pull the lines out. Its also easier to get your extensions and socket in which made it easier to install.
