Front Diff. Cover - No room for 1 bolt to tighten.

I just finished putting on my new PML front diff. cover & got all of the allen bolts tightened down w/ exception to one. I can't for the life of me get my wrench in enough to get it to turn. Any tips that you guys have done to get that last one in? It is behind the bar that is almost up against it (I think a sway bar - I dunno, still learning this stuff). If you're looking at the cover, it is on the left about 1/2 - 2/3 way up.

Grind the end of the allen wrench off so that it's short enough to fit. Hope this helps. Paul

Use the type of allen wrench with a ball on the end that can enter at an angle.
