Default cv cup swap question

I started doing the cv cup swap, managed to get the mid/lower 4 bolts off but the top two bolts I cant seem to get a good angle for the socket to fit. I am using a standard size socket (not a deep socket), and I cant get it to fit around the bolt without it being in the way. I tried attatching a couple extensiosn to get a straight shot from the rotor but there is too much slack when using a breaker bar. Think a swivel socket or do I need a socket wrench that has an adjustable top part to do different angles?

Dude, rotate your wheel and your axle will spin bringing those to the bottom making them easier to access.

Hehe, someone had a blonde moment.

Your parking brake is on. Take it off, spin her around, and e-brake back on.

Don't worry, we all do something like this at some point. Me usually more than others.

I'm kidding. Make sure you're using proper jack stands ok?
