I changed my bolts out to Hex Head, Now I can use a allen wrench or hex with a 3/8 drive socket on the end (it's about 6" long) I slide it behind the wiring harness down to the hex head bolt.

I used "The Right Stuff" gasket maker as an adhesive on the cork gasket, torqed bolts until the rtv barely started to squeeze out, let it sit overnight, drove it, and snugged them up a little more. Hasn't leaked in 2 years.
