One and only tool that fits, and you will still only get about 1.1 flat per
bit, is a deep offset box end wrench.  Craftsman fits.  I remember that was
the excuse to buy that set of wrenches :)

 those two darn bolts out holding the Rad it's self in place on a TR3.

 I have the "Skid" pan out, but can not fit a wrench in there other than a
 1/16 of an inch movement at a time if I'm lucky.

 I can get a socket in there but not the ratchet extention due to the lower
 frame lip, nor does a Universal fit.

 Thanks all.

I've done this many times using a 3/8" drive ratchet & U-joint. It is tight
tho'. Not sure offhand of any other way to do this.
