No, used a number of extensions between my socket and ratchet, fed them through from the pasenger side of the car, could only turn the bolts what seemed like a quarter turn at a time, could hardly see what I was doing = nighmare job. I do think it would have been a lot easier if the car had been on a car ramp or above a pit. My ST200 was loads of fun, one of the best Fords I have owned. Good luck with the job may be easier for you than it was for me (took me about 4 hours), most of that time was spent moaning about how hard the fecking job was. Let me know how you get on.
