I use a 3' extension with a 13mm swivel socket. To install the bolt I put a little putty into the socket to keep the bolt from falling out.

I used my a 12" wobble head extension, another regular 12" extension, and I think a 6" extension to get to this bolt. You pretty much just need enough extensions to get back there and it should come out without too much trouble. When you go to slide things back together, put the bolt through the fitting on the lines, then put the socket/extensions on and slide it back into position.

Also, I had to jack the motor slightly to open up enough room to get the old line out and the new line back in.

I have also cut the lines off and brazed on hydraulic fittings to the hard lines, replacing the rubber hoses with 3,000psi hydraulic hose with swivel connections.
