[UPDATE 19 July 2018-- we have a partial winner with the 3 screws extracted!! Winner is a Husky microratchet https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-1-4-in-Drive-Microdriver-Set-16-Piece-HMDS16PC/302905070]

Hello!
My first post could not get me what I want:
Removal of fuel rails on my 3.0L 2004 ford ranger
I estimate only 1.4 cm of clearance inside a hole and the valve covering bolt on the outside.
How do you remove a valve covering bolt?
See pictures to size of measurements.

I have tried: (8mm bolt) valve cover bolt in way
A)Head Socket only
B)Universal joint (no torque)
C)1/4 in x 8mm socket bit
No help: too dissimilar

Thx in advance,
JC Magras
