This is the same setup I used (a 6-inch Craftsman 1/4-drive extension bar) and a 1/4-drive u-joint swivel. However, a few weeks ago I found an even better tool at a hardware store. I found a 1/4-drive flex-cable extension, which is perfect for this job. The one I found has a fully encased flex cable that let's you get right square on the bolt head. It doesn't wind up like the flex cables that are not encased.
