Take a recipient. Put a cnunk of it aroudn the nut and put it in the socket. that will hold the nut in the socket. Take a 6" or 2 and put the socket on it and use it like it were longer hands.. Start it then use the ratchet. Thats how i did it..

I've, unfortunately, done this multiple times. It helps to have a speed handle with a 6' extension. Any normal 12mm socket will do. Flex fittings will just make it more frustrating. Getting it back in is a whole different ball game.

You take a little square of the reciet and put it on the head of the bolt before u put it on the socket and it will stay on the socket. Then you put a extention on the socket and thread it by hand. Sorry i typed that like a retard yesterday.

Of course, on a -stock- FB the rat's nest makes it impossible, but with that out you should be able to get your hand in there and start the bolt, then just find a good place for the extension and go nuts
If you think the slave is a bitch, think of what the master would have been like if your dash wasn't out! I've done four like that... REALLY tough.

Yeah, I have a special fake deep well 12mm socket for doing the master. It is actually a regular socket with the center drilled out to 3/8". It allows the stud to fit up inside the socket almost all the way through with just enough grip on the extension to get the job done.

Alright I'm putting this out there for reference, my problem actually wasn't the fact that I didn't have the right lengths and extensions, turns out I just needed a smaller ratchet size, all my tools are 1/2" drive, but when i was at my buddy's shop today to get my muffler on, I used a 1/4" drive ratchet, and extensions and the things took 30 seconds to put on both back in. No swivel pieces and what not were needed. So there you have it

Now that you mention it, I believe I also used a 1/4" drive. Something was in the way when trying to use the 3/8" drive, but it worked okay with the smaller one. Can't remember the details though, did a lot of work on the car that day...
