I've been working on installing my FI HFC. I tackled the demon bolts tonight, and believe it or not, they came out relatively easily. I soaked them with Liquid Wrench for a few days, and that seemed to do the trick.

I figured I was home free, but noooo. I have the Tanabe Medalion Y pipe, and the nut that's close to the bend is being a pain in the ***. I can't get a deep socket on it properly, because the space is too tight.

I tried a regular sized socket, but the stud was making it "bottom out." So, I used a wrench, but I didn't have enough leverage. Now, the nut is starting to round. Should I pick up a pass-through socket set, or pick up a set of crow's feet?
