What tool to use to get into really tight spaces?
Hello forum! I have a 9mm or so bolt that is in a really hard-to-reach place. Not only is it hard to get to, there is almost no room to get a socket or box wrench onto it. I'm looking for a tool, a socket wrench of some kind, that will get into an extrememly small area where there's no room for a regular crescent wrench, or socket w/driver. Something like a worm drive ratchet attachment, with a super thin, low-profile socket on the end of it. Ever heard of such a thing?

please explain more to what bolt, where, and on what
if you can get a socket and ratchet on it, they sell a ratchet that you twist the handle and it turns the socket

Sockets with a built in u-joint on the end. Let me guess you're trying to take a headlight assembly out. On some models you really must remove the bumper first. That is not that difficult, look for bolts behind the turn signals in the bumper. The bumper then comes off as a unit, do not remove the funny small screws in the top and bottom.
