Front strut bar in the way...

Hey all.

Went to replace my EGR position sensor, and the freaking strut bar was in the way of my tools ><. The bolts are so tiny and tightly fit, pliers won't budge them, and my socket wrench won't touch them because of the bar... removing the bar is probably too much work for me without the proper tools.

Any ideas to get those bolts off with the bar there?! Thanks for the help everyone <img>.

Never mind, got the bar off, dunno if it's torqued back on right, but it's holding up, and the EGR is fixed .

Yeah, I learned that on my last car (stripped a few then broke a few rusted ones, all on the rear sway bar). I'm getting better at this... got a can of PB Blaster for any rust I encounter when I go at the suspension in a few weeks on the Solara .
