What’s the best tooling to access this?

The gasket kit GG sent came with two cap head Allen bolts instead of two button head ones... looks more robust and less prone to rounding... which is useful as the bottom bolt is certain to get rounded at some stage. 

Not sure if it’s just my cheaper tools aren’t delicate enough as get decent access even with the universal joint... but FML... what a poorly thought out routing. 

Thoughts and feedback from past GG maintenance Tourette’s welcome... ?

Just cut the end off an allen wrench, and then use a regular wrench  to turn it.

weld regular wrench to the end of allen wrench.  permanent new tool.

Be super proud of fabrication abilities.

So to wrap up... after a good night’s sleep and not being massively hungover... I decided to raid the shed and found an old set of Allen keys... was enough as get a decent grip on it, used a spanner on the end to tighten it, then snapped the mole grips onto it to do the final tighten up (calibrated nip up). Dunno if it’s 30Nm but it felt pretty feckin tight and nice and even. 

Took it out for a blast... came back, had Chinese curry and beer... away to blow dry her and put her to bed. ??
