Help with BC Coilover install

The fronts are done and I'm moving on to the rears. The rears are known to be a pain. For the 3 upper bolts holding the strut could some who have done it share what tool or tools you used to remove them.
 
When I worked on a buddy of mine's 6, I had to use a box ended wrench a certain bolts, a socket is just way to much of a tight squeeze there. A ratcheting wrench works even better. But there is one bolt that you have to use a open end wrench.
 
Thanks for the help.

Got the 3 bolts that hold the strut. I tried the 1st 2 tools below and they both worked great for the two bolts to the left and right of the strut. For the one behind the strut I used a 3/8 ratchet, 10" extension and 14mm Socket 6 pt. Flex. That combo also worked great. Here are the links to the tools that helped keep this project from becoming a hair pulling experience.

Front 2 bolts
14mm Flex Ratcheting Wrench

12 x 14mm Deep Offset Wrench, 12 pt. Box End

Rear bolt
