So I have replaced the two gaskets on the oil filter housing and oil cooler this morning. The bolts are in nipped up. I have a long e12 socket coming so I should be able to get a torque wrench on the 3 e12 and 2 of the e10. I'm struggling to figure out how to torque the bottom bolt that comes in from the bottom of the oil filter housing. Space is tight and had to take it off with a spanner.
So anyone that has done this job how did you get that bolt torqued? I could remove the plastic flange in front of it but the bolts look slightly suspect and space is tight.

Educated guesstimate buddy, you're tightening 2 up on the Torque wrench so it should be easy enough to get the feel for it
