Are you changing the mounts or pulling the engine?

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Have you tried a crow's foot? Might allow you to get a different angle of attack.

If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
I'd use a flex socket on an extension.
