Head Bolt Help

Merry Christmas !

Hi, I am having problem trying to torque the last head bolt on a 1996 cherokee with 4.0L engine, It is too tight to the firewall.

Any suggestions on how to get it.

Thanks
Charles

Some people use a 1/2" drive 13mm shallow in that location. It ain't pretty but it works.

I use a 3/8" drive 1/2" deep on a 3/8" torque wrench.

Everyone has this issue. I've seen a few folks who have taken a mallet to the folded over seam on the firewall...

You can't get a torque wrench on it or what?
