For the people that installed their exhaust & front pipe what tool did you guys use to tighten the very top bolt? There’s no clearance to put a socket up there or even a wrench & this bolt always gets un tightened for me ? currently have an exhaust leak from that bolt lol as u can tell from the picture

Remove the heat shield bolts around that area or even all of them to move it around and get some clearance, trust me I’ve done front pipe installs and removals and that’s the only way to 1-not struggle 2-save time 3- have a happy install experience ??
