    Attempting to remove rear light cluster, specifically rear light
    studs, on 740 Wagon-86, (bottom studs), I have two problems, 1) I can
    not get a proper tool in through 'jack housing' into rear light
    housing, 2) when I get slightly improper tool in there, it does not
    provide enough room, angle to have proper amount of torque without
    breaking the nut.

    any suggestions?

    Borrow a kid with small hands. I had my grandson pull the cluster when I
    had to repair his mothers wagon.

    You need a deep 8mm (or is it 10mm?) socket, 6" extension and ratchet,
    all 1/4" drive. A little grease in the socket will stop the nut from
    falling.
