Was playing around with it a little and couldn't find an easy way to get to it. Tried using the "duct taped extension to the wrench" method, but it wasn't a tight enough connection to be able to turn the bolt...

PB spray and a flex head gear wrench. With those two it will be a breeze.

Yup, Just be ready to wrench at it for a while. You can only get like 1/8th of a turn at a time.

Gear wrench seems to be preferred; I used a crow's foot with good results, too.
