do wat i did and ask a girl who likes cars to do it for you since they have very small hands. it took her about 5 mins to do the whole thing and it was fun watching her do it in a dress.

you must be using the wrong type of socket, you need a 12mm swivel, shouldnt take more than 20 minutes, i could probalby do it in less than 10 min now that i know how to do it,i have fat hands and fingers,
