Having a hard time removing the rear bumper [pic]

[Miser]

The nut holding the rear bumper to the car is in a very small area where I can barely get my hand in. Any suggestions on what to use to get the nuts off?

First soak it with Blaster or some such.
If you can get that much light and angle on it, a wobbly socket and a long extension should do it.
Wobbly sockets are more stable in a tight-fastener environment than a socket on a universal.

X2 on PBlaster (or whatever) and the wobblies. I also like the wobble extensions for jobs like this:

These are very handy and for once the sloppy loose fit you often get with a cheap set of extensions is actually a good thing!

Is this a TR6? I've removed my rear bumper, and you'll need to soak w/PBBlaster. Then socket, short extension, CV boot type thing for sockets, (what are those called again?) then long extension....
