Is there a special tool to get to the top bolts on either side - factory or aftermarket? I have to use a MAC 3/8 drive 14mm shallow impact swivel socket *AND* a universal to get to them. Anyone else want to rant or share methods post up.

i never take off the top bolts.. if im ever taking off the headers or what not, i just maneuver them out after i disconnect the y pipe merge and the header bolts.
