Front passenger headlight removal

I wish the search feature worked. I just eye-balled it yesterday and MAN IT'S A PAIN IN THE ***!!! The 2 bolts on the backside of the headlight right behind the grille seem almost impossible to get to! Are there directions anywhere on what tools are needed and how to go about doing this?

Thanks.

1) Remove the grill - it just pops out.
2) Remove the side marker - Take the screw out of the top and pry it out gently. There's a ball socket that will pop.
3) Remove 2 bolts that were hidden under the side marker.
4) Remove 2 nuts that hold the assy. onto the radiator support.

Step 4 is what seems impossible. There is no socket head that will fit back there... the AC hose is solid and will not move and there just does not seem to be an angle to get anything in there onto that nut. How did you do it for those 2 bolts?
