It's just at such an awkward angle, at full stretch and it's really damn tight. I even tried hammering the socket wrench to no avail.

Because I needed to use an extension on the socket wrench in order for it to reach the bolt inside the hole there's a fair amount of play and I'm having a lot of difficulty applying the torque to the bolt...

Does anyone with experience have any tips or pointers? I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.
It doesn't fit you need to buy the 1m strut brace
