I had to buy a socket when I did the rack & replaced the subframe mounts.

Tried a heap of places, but Gasweld (www.gasweld.com.au) had what I needed in the end.

Just make sure you have an extension bar to fit it.

I remember having to 'encourage' some piping to move out of the way.

I got the socket on the bolt by itself first, and then stuck the extension bar in it and undid it all. There isn't much room, but it can be done.
