Almost impossible. I use a long wrench and try to get them close as I can. After making several tools (that broke or didn't work) it's much easier to use the wrench.

Snap on makes a torque adapter for this type of situation. Here is an example of what I use for tight spaces. The one thing to remember is ALWAYS torque with a set up like this at a 90°. This will keep your torque to the proper level vs. straight on. If you must use a straight on approach, there is a formula for that. In other words, straight on will multiply your torque depending on how long your extension is. So be careful when torquing things in the straight position.
Good luck...

Yup, sounds like that was what you were looking for. Not too many people think about keeping it at 90° when torquing either. I've seen many shops just say "Oh it's torqued" well in reality it's over torqued. Anyways, hope that helped you out.
