Pat,
Those are tough. I have a set of those "socket caps" from Eastwood which
really help with those bolts. They're these plugs that go into the ratchet
side of a socket, but are made to turn with a wrench. Using them with a
socket on these bolts really works nicely. The downside is they are
over-priced, and with my entire frame off of the TR3 that was the only time
that they really, really helped. The upside was I probably had the radiator
in and out 3 or 4 times before I was happy, so I got a little more use for
my money.
