you dont need a Universal joint, i did my without one (caused more trouble that it is worth). I simply used a deep socket and a 10 inches 3/8s extension. I had a 20 inch extension too, but it was also causing more problems than it was worth. Make sure you untorque them with some force, because due the heat, the bolts can expand and get pretty seemingly stuck on there, they arent, just put some muscle into it.

also, i sprayed the bolts with WD-40 as a loosener. I dont know how much it helped... BUT, hell, i got it off didnt I?

Wait till you have to do the O2 sensors. uhhhhhhhhhhg. They're not "hard" just annoying.
