Does anybody have any tips, magic tools, etc., for installing the M6 bolt that attaches the dip stick’s bracket to the intake manifold?  There’s only a 1-1/4” space between the location of the thread on the manifold and the brake booster, which doesn’t leave enough room for a socket, plus the hard brake line going into the master cylinder is in the way from above as well.  This has to be the single most aggravating bolt on the entire car.  I’ve been fighting with this thing for over an hour, and have dropped the stupid bolt at least five times already.  There has to be a way to get this thing on.  Any suggestions, preferably ones that have been actually used and proven to work?  Thanks.

Thanks - I was wondering about that.  May be the best option.
