The Haynes manual says to take the radiator out to replace the headlamps... but I got around that easily enough...

Just use a socket extension that's thin enough to get past the pipe with a good angle, and you should be able to get to it just fine. When screwing the nut back in, start it with your hand so it threads correctly, tighten with said socket+extension.
