Default Bottom Bolts of Intake Manifold

Can someone please tell me how to get to the bottom bolts on the intake manifold, me and Nathan (naynay) tried to get my manifold gasket on yesterday , we got everything off except four of the bottom bolts which we could net get too, we had all the tools from the DIY thread and still could not manuever to them, we got the car completely back together in roughly 45 minutes so the car is still drivable and everything, all help will be appreciated. Thanks

You need to goto a hardware store and pick up a "U-Joint" or universal joint attachment for your socket. Without that, it's nearly impossible to get to.

Yes we did! It was still a B!@$H. I guess once you slice open your hand, everything is more difficult!

(I will post pics of the aftermath)
