Question Classic rear lights

Hi folks

I am trying to change the rear lights on my classic wagon and the 5th little nut is a bitch to get undone You know, the one that is on its own that's tucked away from the wireing.

Can anyone let me know a way of undoing it please. I can get a socket on it, but then the bolt is too long and I can't get the wrench on it Then I can get a spanner on it, but no way can I turn the spanner as there is no clearance to turn it

Any help greatly appreciated.


Thanks

I usually slip the socket on, then put the extension bar onto the socket, it only goes in about 3mm, but it's enough to turn it to release it, then undo it by hand. Or buy a longer socket as above
