I bought the swivel extension and used that to take it off. However, the Craftsman socket set I have has two 10mm sockets. Once is 1/4" drive and the other is 3/8". The 1/4" drive socket with the adapter to have it fit the handle turned out to be the perfect length for reaching the top far-right bolt.

That is what I had to do. I bought a 1/4 inch drive, short one, and 1/4 inch deep sockets and that was the trick. Thanks.

I used Pedro's instructions and removed the engine mount. With the engine mount removed I had no problem using a socket or box on the bolts. also I used the prestone from Walmart formulated for german cars. I replaced the engine mount, water pump, and thermostat (160) all at the same time and burped it. No problems!
